A Joy to be Old
It’s a joy to be old.
Kids through school,
The dog dead and the car sold.
Worth their weight in gold,
Bus passes. Let asses rule.
It’s a joy to be old.
The library when it’s cold.
Immune from ridicule.
The dog dead and the car sold.
Time now to be bold.
Skinnydipping in the pool.
It’s a joy to be old.
Death cannot be cajoled.
No rewinding the spool.
The dog dead and the car sold.
Don’t have your fortune told.
Have fun playing the fool.
It’s a joy to be old.
The dog dead and the car sold.
