OLD?
Silver in my hair, Gold in my teeth.
Stones in my kidneys, Lead in my feet.

Five friends greet me each day after I wake.
Arthur Ritis is always with me when I ache,
Will Power helps me out of my warm cot.
I go see John, to help me on the pot.
Then Charley Horse makes his point,
He takes me from joint to joint.
After a busy day with a lot of strife,
I say goodnight to Ben Gay. What a Life!

When the preacher visits,
he ask if I think of the Hereafter.
I say, Yes I do. Sometimes in the kitchen
I ask myself, What am I here, after?


Good read. I share your feeling.
