HOW TRUE IT IS

Another year has passed

And we're all a little older

Last summer felt hotter

And winter seems much colder

I rack my brain for happy thoughts

To put down on my pad

But lots of things that come to mind

that make me kind of sad

There was a time not long ago

When life was quite a blast

Now I fully understand

About "Living in the Past"

We used to go to weddings

Football games and lunches

Now we go to funeral homes

And after-funeral brunches.

We used to have hangovers

From parties that were gay

Now we suffer body aches

That sometmes lasts all day

We used to go out dining

And couldn't get our fill.

Now we ask for doggie bags

Come home and take a pill

We used to often travel

To places near and far

Now we get sore bottoms

From riding in the car

We used to go out shopping

For new clothing at the Mall

But now we never bother...

All the sizes are too small

We used to go to nightclubs

Dance and drink a little booze

Now we stay at home at night

And watch the evening news

That, my friend is how life is

And now my tale is told

So, enjoy each day and live it up...

Before you're too darned old!

Goodnight now, it's 9:00 PM, way past my bedtime, mornings come so much earlier than they used to.
