WELL YOU'RE GETTING OLD

 

Well, you're getting old when you’ve outlived your enthusiasm

and if you lay in bed all day its because your backs in spasm

You’re getting old when you just can't stand intolerant people

or when your cup is always half empty and never is it half full

You’re getting old when you don’t look forward to your birthday

Or the best part of the paper is "Twenty-five years ago today”

When everything hurts and if it doesn't it doesn't work anymore

And your only exercise is with the friends you act as pallbearer for

You’re getting old when you always fall asleep in your armchair

Or when you have your teeth cleaned you don’t need to be there

You’re getting old when you’re helped across the road by a scout

Or you have that night before feeling when you haven't been out

When the glint in your eye is the sun on your glasses reflecting

Or when you sit in a rocking chair and can't get the thing rocking
