I can still walk,
very well talk.
My mind is clear,
I keep positive thoughts near.
I can do kung-fu exercises,
peaceful mind compromises.
Humor is my best feature,
life being the greatest teacher.

I still can run,
but
this activity is almost done.
Arthritis is taking over,
I don't drink I'm sober.
It'll be a long time
before I'm finished.
Each day my body
gets replenished.

The difference between
old age and youth,
is about as simple as
a good and rotten tooth.
You know and feel
the break down coming,
knowing sooner or later,
you'll be succumbing.
