Too Young To Get Old

I'm really much too young to get old Something's drastically out of whack I'm still this handsome, charismatic stud Why's my body giving me flack? A strange bump just formed on my neck Don't think it was there yesterday My hair seems a bit thinner and greyer But I'm still young in all other ways My body is falling apart, bit by bit Takes me an hour to put on my pants I wheeze while watching sports on TV My wife never asks me to dance There must be a pill old geezers can take To slow down this aging tommyrot I'm not ready yet for an old folks home I feel like I'm still pretty hot This can't be, I'm much too young To say 'uncle' and throw in the towel Gonna fight like hell and never give up If only I could control my bowels!

Sounds like a total body transplant you need. ( want to look like a twenty year old Adonis- call 116645 ext 45.) They're not cheap mind, might have to sell your Porsche.
