'nip' and 'Tuck'

Have a close look, and what do you see? Those lines on your face: Your history All mapped out and years in the making Your age is a number that needs celebrating Some need help, here and there Others don’t worry, or seem to care At the end of the day, when all’s said and done It’s the price you pay for having fun Ageing gracefully as we travel through time Can be a roll of the dice that blows your mind! Is it your genes…… or just good luck? Time will tell…… ‘if you need a nip and tuck’ Some people……‘just let go’ Then get depressed at the horror show Those who can afford it……‘go under the knife’ In an effort to disguise their ageing and strife Wear and tear; happens ‘my son’ So don’t get depressed when your youth has gone It’s nice to grow old…… especially with your peers So don’t start looking…… too young for your years!!
