Lyrics

I still see, thru my same eyes
so my age, is hard to realize
I guess 70’s, not so bad
95 is the age, of my dad

I have hypertension, and cataracts too
sometimes my lips, and toenails turn blue
I try to walk, five miles a day
some say my hair, is turning gray

walk to the next room, can’t remember why
can’t tie my shoes, no matter how I try
called in sick, with eye trouble today
can’t see myself working, I want to play

can no longer play tennis, because of my med
so I have to play, ping pong instead
not as much fun, but less of a threat
it’s a lot easier, to jump over the net

I get tired, just watching sports on TV
even playing checkers, gets the best of me
I try to cook, but can’t remember how
even McDonalds, delivers food now

I try to lose weight, it’s so hard to do
just pick up the phone, food’s coming to you
all the restaurants, are on my speed dial
that weight loss diet, can just wait for a while

KFC, has their bucket on sale
I get taters and slaw, and cold ginger ale
call up Uber, to drive to their store
have it delivered, right to my door

excuse me please, my dinner has arrived
I fasted all day, and now feel deprived
it feels so good, to take that first bite
thru all of this, my future’s bright
