The Shape That I'm In

Just more P.P. (Phoolish Philosophy)

As I sit and I ponder my lot in this life
And ignore all the dither and din
I realize I'm actually in pretty good shape-
Pretty good for the shape that I'm in

My skin's a bit wrinkled, and the age spots appear
But an elephant's wrinkled up too
And I do realize with a tinge of regret
This will happen to me and to you

But when all's said and done, I've had my share of fun
And I'm not staring up at the grass
Yes, I've come to accept that I'm somewhat inept
But in time-even this too shall pass

No I'll never be rich monetarily
But really, I don't give a damn
'Though my life's mostly spent-I am more than content
With the "Who" and the "What" that I am!

I love this John! The imagery was more then I wanted to view, however, without my first cup of coffee! Ah the effects of gravity! My question is this, when do we get to go backwards with our ages???
