Don'T Worry About It

Snap crackle pop's not my cereal sound anymore Now that's how I sound getting up off the floor It's not new if I'm up at the crack of dawn For an emergency journey to the John I get a new wart or spot every day I've now abandoned watching what I say Though not W.C. Fields to any degree I did say, "Go away son you bother me!" I can come off as a little cranky I guess I am a bit coarse and grumpy I confess But if you think that I'm too brazen or bold Don't worry about it I'm just getting old!

i can very much relate to this one, pat! i definitely care a lot less about what people think of me and my husband has gotten grumpier, too. there are some benefits of aging (but a lot of negatives, too, i think).

The slowest way to die is what I'm told! OK, now I'm depressed. Think I'll have a beer!..............pat
