Old Age
Old Age
Saggy breasts or wrinkled tush,
Is old age giving you the push
Not able to do the things you could
Or not by your kids being understood
Wearing false teeth and not your own
And a hearing aid and feeling all alone
Remembering When you could jump out of bed
Now grabbing the walker sitting by your bed
Grandkids running here and there
And your thinking life's not fair
As you look back at days gone by
And asking to yourself WHY
You can't do the things you did
When you were a little kid
Like running, skipping and playing ball
All these things you do recall.
Now that your working days are past
And you have retired at last
Now is your chance to have some fun
Because your life has just begun
Enjoy the rest that you have earned
And stop being so damned concerned
Just look around and say
Now is the time to start MY day.
R. Taub
