Growing Old

Life oh life

I am growing older day by day

Hair that was brown is now so Grey

I was full of energy wild and free

Now I am so tired, what happened to me

My sell by day is soon to be expired

I used to get wolf whistle and honking cars

Now my boobs do not fit, in my push up bra’s

My waist was slender boys said, I was, oh so slim

I never once dieted or went to the gyme

So what happened where did life go wrong

I now wear big knickers, I dumped my thong

Teeth they once looked so clean, now are shite

Friday night I would go looking to a gang fight

Eye’s that seen everything, and lots more besides

Now can't see a thing, Nhs glasses are my pride

Won't some one tell me why, we all have to get old

I used to smell so sweet now I stink of old mould

I suppose you could say I have had my days

I was young free and happy now my memory is a haze

Sitting here in my old rocking chair I just dream

I had smooth clear skin once, now I use a wrinkle cream

Age creeps up on us all so fast

Enjoy life now before you breathe your last
