Riding Bucking Broncos

Always thought I was in pretty good shape For a dude of seventy-nine Until I met up with the basement stairs Challenged them 9 or 10 times They won the battle, oh they surely did win Lifting stuff was damn well easy But lifting this bod up and down the stairs Made me a whole lot wheezy At seventy-nine, guess I still can be proud That I'm still quite able to bring it In my younger years, thought I'd be all alone Drooling and loosing it bit by bit It just goes to show you if you've lived a good life And you're healthy, no need to stop Wake up with a dirty big grin on your kisser Riding bucking broncos till you drop © Jack Ellison 2015

G'day young Jack... oh yes, that bucking bronco won't stop even if you plead with it. At seventy-nine young Jack, you're still holding on with one hand and not biting dust so you're doing real well - Yee haw - Lindsay
