Golden Year's
My guild of Golden Year's ..
I'v had the quantity of life and it's quality now it is a battle of aches and shakes all day.
Hey malady ! Why do you usher affliction..
After many romantic sunset's seen and all that jazz on the bob and boogie blues scene ...
Comes a bumpy trauma to a years declining.
You have experienced the layers of betrayal's
And nearly married plenty cinderella's
Drank many beer's and stopped many tears.
Now at the golden years
The body parts are limbo
And not fit as dingo
Once I was a Fred Astaire
Now something wants to do nothing
Keep the whoopee !
And savvy the golden years
Though ..
The arm's void the legs
The cargo is heavy
The toe's they stay close
The heels are a struggling wagon
There is no dash
And the body is medicine gewgaw
The eyes are a tired watchman
Nothing is up and about
Germs and moustache aqaint
Past the prime
But not senile
Life is for the living
Sipping gin and lime
Passing time
And I don't mind
The staying alive
On the porch
In my guild of
Golden years.
