When I'M Eighty Five

When I’m eighty-five

 Once upon a time, when I was sixty-five
my hair turned grey, bought hair dye. 
Blue rinsed looked like a stern teacher
of the type of women doing good work
among the poor.
She said she loved me, remembered
a song “when I’m sixty-five.”
We are old, take our love for granted
she calls me darling I call her sweetheart.
I will sing you a song when I’m eighty-five
full of cakes and ale.
I bet someone will say, who was the Beetles?
