GETTING OLD

I sure hate this disease.

It’s called getting old and aged.

Aches and burning pains every joint

My toes, foot, ankle, knees, hips,

Shoulders, elbows, wrist and my knuckles

Constantly ache and burn

Anytime rainy weather comes near.

Yeh!  I really hate this disease,

This getting old and aged thing.

Why can’t I take some of that vigor

With that I had when I was 25?

That would really be nice, wouldn’t it?

Then this wretched disease I have

Wouldn’t be so tough on me on rainy days.

Gee!  I really hate this disease,

This getting old and aged that is.
