Who Are They

In an effort to make us old folks gay They say seventy is the new sixty I’m forced to ask you, who are ‘they’? And who made ‘they’ the authority? When they say sixty is the new fifty How many of them need glasses to read? And just how many of them are sixty? How much more of this drivel will they feed? What they mean is you’re as old as you feel Well, some of us feel as old as we look I’m over seventy, that is what’s real And I know just how much living that took! I will embrace life regardless of time Even though four is my new dinnertime!
