Bummed Out Baby Boomer

My skin is all wrinkled my muscles are jello, I'll tell you right now I'm one bummed out fellow. My joints are all achy my eye sight is shot, it feels like my head is clogged full of snot. My lungs are all blackened from decades of smoke, I'm not in good shape and I look like a joke. I used to be able to run a fast mile, now every ten feet I rest for a while. I need a new kidney a heart that beats right, I need a new bladder that last's through the night. My teeth are all gone and my ears give me pain, I don't have the sense to get out of the rain. Just some complaints from a speck on the earth, that life is not easy for what that is worth.
