Being old

When you get really old,

Your face starts to wrinkle,

Your eyes see things as yellow and blurry,

And there’s not much of a twinkle.




When you get really old,

Your hearing is bad,

Just like there are earplugs,

And you sometimes get mad.



When you get really old,

You can easily get sick,

You never feel too good,

And you don’t wear lipstick.



When you get really old,

You will probably be sad,

Because of what I have described,

And you’ll be everything but glad.


But when you get really old,

You can and probably will get retired,

You would would have lots of time,

And hopefully this was not because you got fired.
