Old
Let's try to define the word OLD
It isn't hard to do
One looses their memory
And their hearing goes too
What is it like
To become old at heart
You sure don't need a comb
Because there's nothing to part
When it comes to reading
You do nothing but squint
So they buy you a subscription
To reader's Digest LARGE PRINT
When you step upon the scale
You're scared to look down
For some reason, it seems
There are a few extra pounds
Then there are your children
And now they have some too
It's okay to grow old
Because of the memories of you
