I'M FINE, HOW ARE YOU?
There's nothing the mater with me, I'm just as healthy as can be....
I have arthritis in both knees, and when I talk, I talk with a wheese!
My pulse is weak, my blood is thin, but I'm awfully well for the shape I'm in!

All my teeth have had to come out, and my diet, I hate to think about!
I'm overweight, and I can't get thin, but I'm awfully well, for the shape I'm in!

And, arch supports I need for my feet, or I wouldn't be able to go out in the street!
Sleep is denied me night after night, but every morning I find I'M ALL RIGHT!
My memory's failing, my head's in a spin, but I'm awfully well for the shape I'm in!

Age is golden, I've heard it said, but sometimes, I wonder, when I go to bed...
With my ears in a drawer, my teeth in a cup, and my glasses on a shelf, until I get up!
And when sleep dims my eyes, I say to myself,
Is there anything ELSE I should lay on the shelf???

The reason I know my youth has been spent, is my get up and go has got up and went!
But I really don't mind; when I think with a grin,
Of all the places my get up has been!

I get up each morning and dust off my wits, pick up the paper and read the OBITS!
If my name is missing, I'm therefore not DEAD,
So I eat a good breakfast and jump back into bed!

The moral of this as the tale unfolds
Is that, for you and me...who are growing old;
It is better to say "I'm fine" with a grin,
Then to let people know, the SHAPE WE ARE IN!!!!!!!
