Golden Years

Archaic are we still my dear... we feel the same from year to year. We never change a thing inside, It's just the skin and hair and hide that sag and fall and turn to gray, the best of me will always stay so in love with you old man. Though maybe you don't understand your hearing aid is set so low, and do you have to walk so slow? I have to get back home by ten my medication's due by then Where are those prunes we bought tonight? I have to eat them to feel right. Shut your trap right now old Bat! I set my hearing aid like that So I don't hear a thing you say. I know ...........I love you anyway.
