Slam Whatz the Point of Getting Old Slam

In reality i should be fat With the amount of Birthday Cake In ever increasing cricles i now consume And i should keep fire extinguisher by my bedside Because of the amount of lit candles my age doth now denominate For i now celebrate a birthday what seems like every other morning I could not wait to turn 16 Then waited an age to turn 18 And eternity to turn 21 But now that i am in my late 40's Revising age has thus taught me Time is burning up exponentially And more and more i now miss the simple things Like having the lung capacity to blow out more than 30 Candles in 1 single blow My once upon a time To do List Has now become a Bucket List And No 1 At the Top of my List Is no more Birthdays No more getting older Stop all the Clocks I am as old as i ever wished to get Live fast die young Leave a respectable corpse Unless by some Miracle By my next Birthday i am a Millionaire Then I'll do a few more Year's Champagne for Everyone
