Life in the Slow Lane

 

By Elton Camp

 

If you live past sixty, things slow down

So that it takes a lot longer to get around

 

And another thing that you will find, too

In turning out work fast, you are through

 

Instead of speeding when you drive

You will slow down just to stay alive

 

Working in the yard no longer is play

Just trimming the roses can take all day

 

Off your tongue, words don’t glibly slide

That you’ve forgotten names, must hide

 

But the thing that’s speeded up is that

Cake is quicker to make your belly fat
