Before you're too damned old!




Another year has passed
And we're all a little older.


Last summer felt hotter


And winter seems much colder.

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 


And while the night away.

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 asses 


From riding in the car.

We used to go to nightclubs


And drink a little booze.


Now we stay 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 damned old!
