I am an old man by most people's standards
I don't care who the asshole is that tells you fifty eight isn't old
Don't believe them....it's too damn old to pretend
That you're still young...
However...I hope to live to be even older yet
Not too old but maybe twenty more years give or take a few...
Till I start wetting myself or forgetting my name...
Like I did when I was two....
