Another year.
What's that dear?
You gonna gripe
Eh, you're the type.

What does that mean?
Don't start a scene.
You moan each year
About your fears
Of getting old
You sit and mold.

You do the same
On age you blame
Arthritic hurts
You wear loose shirts
But I don't whine
Into my wine
Like you do nights
You're quite a sight
You won't do it
Just stop and quit


You won't let me make love
Because it bends when pushed

That didn't rhyme,
Well that's no crime.

Aging means we are still breathing. Cute one Jerry.I wish I would have appreciated my youth more than I did. Things like that we take for granted.
