What This Old Lady Feels Like

This old lady feels 
like a broken down car
Many miles on her feet
Joints need oiled, 
so they can move
A new censor
her memory is failing 
Has to have a spark plug
to keep her heart ticking smoothly
Her bones are as brittle
as the wiring gets at times
Eyes are getting dim
like the headlights do
Only thing not needed is the horn
she keeps on a tooting
Overall, she just needs 
totally restored.

An old car and an old lady--what a comparison. Well done, Melanie.
