Who Woulda Thunk It

Born way back in nineteen-thirty-five Will the word “ancient” ring a bell when midnight arrives Still cookin' up a storm My body's still warm Who woulda thunk I'd still be alive!!! © Jack Ellison 2015

In 2036 you'll be saying the same...how being 100 wasn't your aim...all in your genes...not one ounce of the means...you still got all of your pieces in life's little game
