Life Begins At Forty

UUUUUHhhhhh!!!!!
I woke up this morning to find I am bald,
Wear glasses and only 5foot 7 tall.
Me bodies out of shape and what is more,
Me bits are all shrivelled, scaly and small.

Who the hell says life begins at forty,
I’m a blind, toothless bald headed shorty.
Which woman is going to throw themselves at me,
She will have to be blond and rely on a dog to see.

I walk up the stairs and stop half way, 
Me hearts pumping mad saying “lets call it a day.”
Me **** started making these terrible smelly sounds,
And parts of me body are having a race, the first to touch the ground.

I now need Viagra to turn me into a yup
Or scaffolding under to prop me bits up
Foreplay is leave me teeth in the glass
The climax of me sex life is squeezing a pimple on me ass


Oh youth where art thou,
You left me in a mess.
I look in the mirror and cuss with every breath,
I’ve turned into an obese belch farting sow.
And they say life begins at forty, with a body like this tell me how? 

** It has been brought to my attention that I should not have used "blond" so if you are blond please change it in your mind to blind, thank you :-)

Too funny, Sid! I can't imagine women being able to resist a man with such a sense of humor. That's the first thing that draws my interest. Keep smiling and cracking jokes and we "blond" women (think you meant blind) will be beating down your door! Love, Carolyn
