The Comedy Of Age

The years are starting to catch up to me Graying temples is what I see. My youthful appearance has gone astray As I turned the other way. What happened to my younger years When I was bold, brave and had no fears. Has life rewritten every line And I’ve fallen behind the times. In my youth I left my mark Now to old age I will embark. I will kick ass - like I’ve always done As long as I can get up and face the sun And if the day comes that the sun no longer shines It must have climbed up my behind. Maybe it went to join I.B.S. And is searching to give a test. I will let old age pass The same as I do with my gas. I will let it blow in the wind So you can have a whiff my friend. (ha-ha father time welcomes you)
