Old Jack O

Eventually we all become victims of time Old Jack O a great athlete in his life's prime The years of living on his body does show The man who once ran fast is now walking slow In the nineteen fifties the town's best athlete Against the Country's best with success he did compete In each big race victory he added to his renown As a sporting great of a sports mad town In his late eighties in the twilight of his life Old Jack O has grown old with Margo his long devoted wife Their children the grandparents of teenagers today The time on our lives ever does tick away Old Jack O in the twilight of his life span Remains as he always was a nice, humble and down to earth man He was a great athlete many decades ago But time as we do know becomes everyone's foe.
