Getting older.

I'M NOT IMPRESSED WITH GETTING OLDER,
IT DOES'NT SEEM LIKE A LOT OF FUN,
EVERY JOINT SEEMS TO BE SEIZING UP,
AND MY FEET WON'T LET ME RUN!
I DON'T HEAR AS WELL AS I USED TO,
MY SIGHT HAS NEVER BEEN GOOD,
I'M STILL TOO SLIM, NOT CURVY,
IN SPITE OF EATING LOTS OF PUD!
I KNOW NOW THAT I'LL NEVER BE ROUNDED,
ALTHOUGH FOR MANY YEARS I'VE TRIED,
TO GROW A BOSOM I COULD CATCH CRUMBS ON,
BUT MY WISH HAS BEEN DENIED !
I SUPPOSE I AM STILL QUITE BENDY,
IN SPITE OF ADVANCING YEARS,
I'M ABLE TO PUSH MY HEAD ON MY KNEES,
WITHOUT A HINT OF TEARS!
ONE OF MY GREATEST PLEASURES
IS A LONG, LONG SOAK IN THE TUB,
UP TO MY CHIN IN BUBBLES,
AND A BESTSELLER FROM THE BOOK CLUB!
I'VE ALWAYS BEEN IMPATIENT,
SOME THINGS NEVER ALTER,
BUT NOW I WANT THINGS YESTERDAY,
ASK HIM INDOORS, JOHN WALTER !!
I GUESS I SHOULD'NT GRUMBLE,
THINGS COULD BE SO MUCH WORSE,
I COULD EXPLODE WITH IMPATIENCE
AND END UP IN A HEARSE !.
