It's Not Fun to Be Old
Whoever said it's great to be old
Is peddling you a lot of fools gold.
With an aching back
And a bulging disk.
Being old and gray
Is not very hip.
My joints are stiff.
My knees are shot.
And I'm getting flashes
That are continually hot.
I take colored pills,
At last count were four.
My eyesight is failing.
I can't see clearly anymore.
Bingo may be all of the rage,
But as for me, I hate old age.
