As the days shorten,

Till the end is nearer still.

I'll just let time have its way

And meet the future in a grand old way.

 

Can't modify time or the aging process.

Nature takes care of that.

I just keep swinging for the fences,

Though the ball doesn't go very far.

 

What's a guy to do?

Can't just sit back and do nothing.

That's what they say.

To hell with it all, get my rocking chair out.
