How To Know When You Are Getting Old
How To Know When You Are Getting Old
By Elton Camp
Well, there is longer room for any doubt
When the senior discount is asked about
If your little black book somehow came
To have nothing but the doctor’s name
A dripping faucet isn’t just an irritation
It engenders immediate need for urination
Because of pain, you feel much less delight
And whatever doesn’t hurt, won’t work right
Open a newspaper and it’s with great speed
That the obituaries you will begin to read
Glean in your eye isn’t due to passing lasses
But is a reflection of the sun off your glasses
Your are certainly getting well along in life
If the gray-haired lady you help is your wife
Yet another thing that will drive you wild
That middle-aged person is your own child
Old age has about caught you, it is so true
When your back goes out more than you
