The Whip It Old Age Poem

Inspired by and sung to "The Whip It" tune by Devo. CRACK that old age whip Give it a pink slip, Step on an elliptical, Old age shouldn't have come this quick! Now whip your bod, into shape, tone it up, its not too late, to whip it, and slim it up good... When old age comes along, you must fix it, before the youth cream sets out too long, you must mix it, when wrinkles come on too strong, you can lick it, Now mix it, mix it good, pour it on, its not too late, to be using, some Retinol and Oil of Olay, And if that doesn't work, don't give up now, theres still a botox doc in town, go and get some, you'll look puffy for awhile, but don't worry, you'll deflate soon! Don't nix it, till you try it, its not too late, don't be frustrated, get some shots of lots of botox, And always as a last resort, if that doesn't work, call up a plastic doc, there might just be some glitches, can make you like Michael Jackson, and in that case, you'd better zip it! Now go forward, move ahead, its not too late, to go into debt, so whip it whip your card out!

A very delightful poem, Cheryl. The apostle Paul said he will glory in his infirmities, I agree w/him. I think you have a bubbly, cheerful outlook on life and that is refreshing and invigorating in and of itself. Long as we keep our mind young, we will be alright. Love you, dear.

Dear Cheryl, a cute poem on aging. But as an expert at 73 I can assure you that no amount of creams or surgery will undo the years of a full life. That's OK with me because I have lived well, thru more than most will ever see, and my scars and drooping skin are a testament that I am a survivor! A kidney transplant that's 23 years old and still working perfectly, and I am on my second pacemaker! I am healthier than I have ever been! Save your money and embrace old age when you get there! Betty
