GETTING OLDER
How
many embarrassing things have you done lately in
your
life?
Things
you sure wouldn't brag about to your husband or
wife.
Like
the time you ran smack into the door,
Or
when you fell flat on your face on the floor.
There
are many things we'd rather keep to ourselves.
We
sure wouldn't want to tell anyone else.
Like
the time we couldn't find our glasses on top of
our
head.
They
didn't turn up until we were getting ready for
bed.
Then
there's the time, you gave someone a call.
When
they answered you tried to stall.
For
you couldn't remember for the life of you,
Who
it was that you wanted to talk to.
There's
also the time that you had the flu,
When
asked the name of the doctor that you went to,
You
had to admit you wish you knew.
These
things don't happen to only you.
For
if you think about it then you'll know.
It's
really just that you're getting older and it's
starting
to show.
So,
when it happens, don't let it make you feel blue,
For
there are lots of others going through it, too.
No
matter what you try to do,
Sooner
or later it will happen to you.
So,
when you notice it happening, don't cuss.
For
you know it's gonna happen to every one of us.
