Its that time of year you know
when another year comes to pass
I see the wrinkles on my brow
and my eyebrows look like grass
My saggy chin, my balding head,
all testament to time,
sit back they shout, relax and
fill that glass up with wine.

So older but not yet wiser
my cheesy grin remains
Its seen lots of emotion that smile
and been through lots of pain

Old duffers with coconut heads
Old skifflers with pearly rinse
Old with no teeth, and gums so
they can only suck on mince

As funny as a banana skin on road
all my life I have lived in blame
funny that banana skin,like a holed
colostomy bag in the rain.

So chins to the sky I beg you,
and live a really full life
there are so many fine days old men
can have when off the leash from the wife

Chins to the sky my fellows
its never to late to try,
keep it poking the clouds above
and then one day you'll die.
Then chins in the clouds forever
and pearly rinse and gates
dont worry my fellow duffers
you'll never be short of mates!


Rich-

well I hope that makes someone sorta smile, and I am only 30!
