Father Time Has Made Me Lose My Prime
Its a shame how less and less
My dream is in total distress
For staying youthful and not growing
old--but each day it is showing
More and more-it will not end
There's no cure--I'm at the end
Of keeping myself free of age
Each day brings another stage
There are wrinkles on my wrinkles
Its hard to hold in my tinkles
Walking one step takes forever
My smart brain's no longer clever
I creek with every little move
Tryna find my happy groove
I could be toy silly putty
From skin sagging on my body
My eyesight's blurry and double
Making frightful mirror trouble
Aches and pains in joints and bones
Causing monstrous loud groans
Nap time is now a routine
Sleeping "granny's" a funny scene
I think there's reason for complaining
To a certain someone I'm blaming
Father time please hear my "booing"
For the things you have been doing
