Growing Older.
How does one grow old "gracefully"?,
We are told that we should!
Buit why,and how should we?
We no longer tell our families how to behave,
They are now free to do as they will,
No! I will not swallow your "graceful" pill.
Then we are told "take it easy",
Yes,we are told that we should,
But why and how should we?
We do what we like- when we like!,
And what's more with whom we like!
So don't offer me your "easy" pill.
You must take care! act your age!
Yes,we are told that we should!
But why,and how should we?
Do you really want us to act our age?
If that were true, we'd be in our grave,
I'm not ready yet to swallow that "age" pill.
AT your age you should have more "sense",
Yes, we are told that we should!
But why,and how should we?
If sense means being celibate with no fun,
Then I will stick with my place in the sun.
Give someone else that "more sense" pill.
Gosh I'm going there and asking the same questions,so I'll take your advise and have the best time of my remaining "young and gorgeous", life.Thank you
Love this. Cute and funny.
Mr Lewis,
My father said to me one day, never grow old gracefully.. act young and stay that way. age is only a number in someone elses eyes.. so I intend to do just that...stay young act young and to hell with growing old...
Peace and Love

David, I was about 5 years old going on about 30. What is the point of acting your age.You have great attitude.Don't let it get in the way of your feet. It's only the truth , but sometimes it takes us to see it through another's eyes.Humans can be so slow at times. Best regards old man. Jock Love 46 going on 106 but feeling 41(when she let's me!!!)
Paratrooper's don't die........ they go to Hell and regroup!!!
