Oh, yes, that time has surely come-
the winter of our years;
try keeping busy having fun
and hang out with our peers.
On senior bus trips off we go,
the highlight of our day.
But walkers and those footed canes
sure do get in our way.
Like ducklings waddling 'cross the floor
to meet the guide in pairs,
we follow him or her around
and pray there are no stairs.
And soon it's time to see the show
and thought we had our place
to sit next to our special friends,
then find there is no space!
'Cause we got lost along the way-
when leaving the restroom!
So, now in dark, get seated near-
some gal with strong perfume!
And soon the time has surely come-
the curtains rise with cheers.
So tired of saying 'who' and 'what'-
stuff hearing aids in ears.
Oh yes, those days have surely come-
the winter of our time;
just keep on going having fun-
pretend it's summertime!
