GREY HAIR IS NOT A GLORIOUS CROWN

Grey hair is not a glorious crown

Worn by a righteous life

But an unwillingness to buy dye

On the part of my wife

MILESTONE 70 # 1

If I'd realized I was going

To live beyond my sixties

I'd have taken better care

Of myself in the sixties

I CONCENTRATE, EVERY SECOND

 

I concentrate, every second

I can never slack

Once my dad let his mind wander,

And it never came back

MILESTONE 70 # 2

You gain knowledge, dignity

Tolerance and serenity

As you get older without a doubt

And then your teeth fall out.

21st CENTURY NURSERY RHYMES # 235

 

As I was going by Charing Cross,

A cyclist ran me down of course

ARE YOU WEARING A MANLY CHIN?

 

Are you wearing a manly chin?

All dimply and square jawed

Very good looking indeed

But I bet you’re as dumb as a board

I LOVE YOU BY ANY MEASURE # 11

 

I love you by any measure

You might wish to use

But I don’t know how to express

The way I feel about you

And the affect you have on me

So, I hope this gives you a clue

If you were a delicacy

Then I would say you are

Without a doubt
