Stay Strong Live Long
Age is like a derelict house
That needs much repairing
The aged get out of breath
The house needs to let some air in
Tummies often rumble
Bricks and mortar start to crumble
Oldies often lose a tooth
Older houses have no roof
Old men worry about their bald pate
House owners worry about creaking gate
Leaking bladder, dripping faucet
Broken sash cord, too tight corset
The house is sinking fast
How long can the aged last
Building and people both decay
It's the strongest ones that stay
