the day has come

this is the day I begin to feel old
the back is always sore
the knees are shot 
the shoulder aches
my real teeth are down to four

a bout with cancer has taken its toll
but they caught it early so I shouldn't moan
what little strength that had remained
has left with my testosterone

my feet and toes are turning numb
my eyes are fading fast
it takes an act of congress now
to exercise my wrinkled ass

my memory now is headed south
it wasn't good to start
the only things I do more often
is eat, sleep and fart

but I'll be 70 come July
I really shouldn't bitch
I've seen and done some crazy things
and I've yet to lose that itch!
