SAGGY OLD PEOPLE <\/p>\n

Oh you dear, dear, poor women,
\nHow you must dread getting old,
\nYour fine breasts begin to sag,
\nShowing flesh you’re not so bold.<\/p>\n

Then there are so many wrinkles,
\nThey appear all over the place,
\nYou apply piles & piles of makeup,
\nTo try to hide them on your face.<\/p>\n

And regarding all of you old men,
\nYour baldness puts eagles to shame,
\nThat growing belly below your belt,
\nIt is impossible for you to tame.<\/p>\n

Yes, we are slowly falling apart,
\nWe each begin to sag and creak,
\nIt really makes one stop & wonder,
\nWhat will happen to us next week.<\/p>\n

But such is the way of the flesh,
\nIt only lasts for so many years,
\nSomeday we’ll move on to New Life,
\nWithout pain, suffering or tears.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
