I'M Old
It sucks getting old wouldn't you say.
You wake up tired almost everyday.
Your joints hurt, your muscles ache.
Pills for arthritis you now have to take.
Your bones begin to creak and crack.
Can't stand up straight cuz
you're now a hunchback.
You sneeze and a little pee starts to seep.
Adult diapers are not very cheap.
A once kind mirror will now criticize,
With wrinkles and dark circles under your eyes.
A head full of hair that has now turned gray.
Great great grandchildren with whom you play.
I'd be the first one in to tell you the truth.
If there really was a fountain of youth.
