Cradle To Grave

All this sentimentality. 
A sign I'm getting on?
Or have I always been that way?
Getting on, I mean. 

I cursed like an old bar keep
when I was only five. 
Killed my first bear
when I was only three. 

Or so they tell me. 
Seems even then my memory 
wasn't what it used to be. 
Excuse me my sentimentality.
