Age

I don’t look bad for 65,
If I do say so myself.
My hand’s still quicker than the eye
And my feet still move with stealth.

My skin is brown and even,
With the help of make-up base
And the wrinkles set about my eyes
Say I’ve a laughing face.

And see these muscles full and firm,
with little excess fat;
I only sag a little bit
And my stomach’s kinda flat.

My vision is 20-20
Like it’s always been,
If I’m seeing things way far off,
Or have my contacts in.

My hair is pretty golden brown,
With the help of Miss Clairol;
Sure I’ve lost a little bit,
But still I am not bald.

I don’t look bad for 65;
Years have been kind to me...
I don’t look bad for 65,
But then I’m only 43.
