Never too old to have some fun
Peddling slowly with shaded eyes 
Dressed to be fit in off-color Levi's 
A noon-time bicycle ride out in the sun  
Loving each other, loving life 
So long they've lived; husband & wife 
Never too old to have some fun

This is sweet. That’s why I like pickleball, so many people connecting with their inner children.
