You are old, Uncle Joseph

You are old, Uncle Joseph,
your short stepping gait
has aroused much comment
in the media of late.

My steps  may be short
but I still get along.
Like Johnny Walker
I'm still going strong.

You are old, Uncle Joseph.
If  I err, please forgive..
Your memory, they say,
somewhat resembles a sieve.

Being forgetful isn't so bad
and  let me  tell you why.
It often avoids the  embarrassment
of having to tell a lie.

You are old Uncle Joseph,
you look like a clown
on certain occasions
when you nearly fall down.

Young man, whatever you say
i can still pull a mighty hard punch,
so why not take an old man's advice
and  leave straight away to have lunch.
