Getting old... ...

The signs of getting old... ...

Knees going weak while going up the stairs,
Body in need of deep repair.
Shoulder aching, muscles cramp
Muttering a snide "DAMN!"

Listening to old songs of yester-year gone
Humming, nodding, bobbing along.
Reading the books of a lost generation
Realising that the generation is still lost.

Father Time Father Time
Spare us your tocks.
Give me a lease of time
To do what I want right.
