Better with time

by keithnwv   Apr 16, 2008


My hair is turning grey
but at least its there
my memories not that good
but, ah, ah, what was i saying??

i have to wear glasses
or i can't see
i wake up at night
so i can go pee

some say i can't hear
but its not by choice
but then again it might be
it depends on the voice

my back always hurts
my feet are sore
tieing my shoes
now thats a real chore

but i guess all in all
things aren't to bad
everything still works
and that makes me glad!!

so what can i say
I'm like the fruit of the vine
I'll just compare myself
to a fine French wine

although I've never drank it
i hear its mighty fine
and just like me
it gets better with time

    I think I may have to raise an '05 Shiraz to this one later!

    Great poem-watch the misspelled words-it detracts from the meaning, at least for a teacher.
