A lady friend of mine once told
"It's dreadful to be getting old"
And I was rather miffed to tell the truth
I told this lady friend of mine
"So what? I'm pushing eighty-nine
And never once lament the loss of youth"
(I mean, yes, some days the biggest thrill I ever get between the sheets is the fact that nobody died on top of me. But I prefer to see the glass half full, you know what I mean?)
That sweet old lady act you squeeze
Can get you out of all your fees
You live the way you damn well please
So live it up in style
And though your breasts may brush the ground
And when you laugh your chins flap round
The neighbors get so fun to hound
So flash the world a smile
Though death seems just around the bend
There's lots of time before the end
And every grocery clerk's your friend
So get your food for free!
And though you dread each upstairs climb
And groan about the rushing time
Since when is being cross a crime?
That's all that you can be!
And whether you like your beaus pretty or rich
You'll always find someone to ease that old itch
Those dumb college boys like experienced fruit
And if you pay extra they're three times as cute
And you don't care how your daughter acts
Your toothless cackle still attracts
The sun shines best through cataracts
So swing those broken hips
And kiss life on the lips!
"breasts may brush the ground"? "toothless cackle"????
No wonder you worried!
I take it all in good fun, hun...thanks so much!! You've made me laugh!!
