I'M OLD

I’m an old geezer,

A codger and a coot.

I used stone knives,

And wore a bear skin suit

I’m over the hill,

Older than dirt.

I’m so old,

It makes my head hurt.

I’m an old timer.

I’m old school.

I’m so obsolete,

I was never cool.

I’m fossilized,

And antiquated.

I’m considered passé,

Outmoded and out dated.

I’m ancient.

It’s been years since my birth.

I was around long before,

Dinosaurs ruled the earth.

I’m an old fuddy duddy,

With a cranky outlook.

I’m old enough to know,

The oldest trick in the book.

I’m no spring chicken.

I’m long in the tooth.

It’s been forever,

Since the days of my youth.

Slowed by age,

I’m hard to start.

Passing my time away,

I’m just an old fart.
