Turning Ninety
Posted: Wed Nov 16, 2011 9:32 pm
Oh what the heck this will do.
TURNING NINETY
The old man sat there in the tub
lamenting over the past.
Yes ninety years he had endured
who'd have thought this long he'd last.
To his feet he then gazed down and said
yes feet you've served me well.
Tomorrow we turn ninety
now won't that just be swell.
Next to his hands he spoke with pride
you've helped me toil the land.
Ninety years tomorrow passes by
oh it's a feeling just so grand.
Yes ninety years he had endured
a hard life. yes but fair.
The ravages of better times
showed in his greying hair.
Then he stared down at his private parts
and the old anger rose anew.
and if you'd not died ten years ago
you'd be bloody ninety too.
