How do I know

My youth is all spent

My Get Up and Go

Has got up and went,

But in spite of it all

I'm able to grin

And think of the places

My Get Up has been.



[eliyaguy]

Old age is golden So I've heard said, But sometimes I wonder As I crawl into bed, With my ears in a drawer My teeth in a cup My eyes on the table, Until I wake up, As sleep dims my vision I say to myself Is there anything else I should lay on the shelf But though nations are warring And business is vexed, I'll still stick around To see What happens and next.

[eliyaguy]

When I was young, My slippers were red, I could kick up my heels Right over my head, When I was older My slippers were blue But still I could dance The whole night through Now I am older My slippers are black I huff to the store And I puff my way back, But never you laugh I don't mind at all I'd rather be huffing Than not puff at all

[eliyaguy]

I get up each morning Dust off my wits, Open the paper, Read the obit's, If I'm not there, I know I'm not dead, So I eat a good breakfast And go back to bed! How do I know My youth is all spent My Get Up and Go Has got up and went, But in spite of it all I'm able to grin And think of the places My Get Up has been.
