Age Knocked On My Door My head is in a real bad state My memory is running late I feel like I am going mad My eyesight now is really bad My teeth have now come to an end Impossible to ever mend My confidence has been destroyed Through all the things I once enjoyed My body's slowly packing up I'm full of broken veins My bones which now need oiling Are filled with aches and pains Gravity has got a grip The lines are clearly showing Tash and beard have just appeared Facial hair is growing My hair is thin My eyes are dim My ears no longer hear It's time to face reality Old age is finally here All I seem to do these days Is sit and watch the telly Which makes it easy to explain This rather fat round belly My body's slowly dying Still I try to look my best There ain't no harm in trying As I face eternal rest I used to be afraid of death But now I'm not so sure It's something I've accepted
