How To Know When You Are Getting Old

 

By Elton Camp

 

Well, there is longer room for any doubt

When the senior discount is asked about

 

If your little black book somehow came

To have nothing but the doctor’s name

 

A dripping faucet isn’t just an irritation

It engenders immediate need for urination

 

Because of pain, you feel much less delight

And whatever doesn’t hurt, won’t work right

 

Open a newspaper and it’s with great speed

That the obituaries you will begin to read

 

Glean in your eye isn’t due to passing lasses

But is a reflection of the sun off your glasses

 

Your are certainly getting well along in life

If the gray-haired lady you help is your wife

 

Yet another thing that will drive you wild

That middle-aged person is your own child

 

Old age has about caught you, it is so true

When your back goes out more than you
