I'M Different Now

In the past I was young and slim 
My body looked dapper and neat
Now it's just a worn appendage 
That keeps me from smelling my feet

My hair was long brown and wavy
My moustache was pepper, no salt
I looked like, money in the bank
But now I look more like the vault!

I had lots of fun when I was young
My entertainment was some pool
Now It's more like skin tag your it
And see if you can try not to drool!

On the bright side I can't go bald again
And my gall bladder will never return
I'm too slow to make many mistakes
And there's very few lessons left to learn!
