As You Get Older
As you get older, you basically become lumpy, bumpy, chapped and cracked. You grow hairs and loose hairs, and things stick out in strange directions, like toes for instance. Your knees creak and crack, and you gain bulges on your back. Your hair turns grey, and then they develop their own personality, just doing their own thing, like an overstretched slinky. Your beard becomes curly and a bit like wire, and your midriff gains and extra tyre. Still it’s a blessing to get old, and a lot better than the alternative.
