Old Duffer-Ing

As we reach our so-called golden years Time seems to pass more quickly We realize each day still has 24 hours But minutes take 30 seconds, quite eery A phenomenon known as old duffering It's time to fit in all we lack No sooner it's the start of a brand new day When it's time to hit the old sack Where did it go, what the hell happened Was a dapper young lad then poof People are now asking if I need any help As I stumble around quite aloof The dazed look on my face could be why People are always trying to help Sometimes my trousers are on back to front And I quite often forget my belt You're bound to get there too eventually Though it seems like forever away Surely hope you don't embarrass yourself By walking around nude all day
