When You're 63!

When You're 63!

My thumb is numb, I've an aching wrist.
I can't clench my hand and 'make a fist'
I've got a permanent limp in my old knee.
That's what happens when you're 63!

When on the bus, folk offer me a seat.
With less and less teeth it's hard to eat!
My hearing is failing, my eyesight too.
And it won't be long before a wig is due!

More and more medication I have to take.
And sadly my love life I've learnt to fake!
When it comes to gigs, no more mosh pit.
For that kind of stuff, I am no longer fit!

My memory is bad, definitely on the wane.
Especially when it comes to placing a name!
Yes, getting older is a pain, that's a fact.
Thankfully my sense of humour is still intact!

I’m not looking forwards to being 63, Mike. I’m afraid I’m looking backwards at it!
