Old Joe Only Has The Memories

It has been awhile since he was in his physical prime Some fifty years this is going way back in time Old Joe only has the memories of his years of renown When he was the best athlete in the town At twenty nine he qualified for the Olympics but he could not compete As he was hit by a car when crossing the street A tragic accident that confined him to life in a wheelchair On some people life can be very unfair In his seventy eight year without a partner or children or wife He is one who has been unlucky in life As nice a person as one could wish to meet Quite humble in his ways and free of conceit The town's best athlete some five decades ago But luck it has not been at all kind to Joe.
