JUST LOOK AT ME!
Just look at me, I'm 53!!
and not a pretty sight.
With saggy boobs, flabby thighs
And a butt that once was tight
I've got wrinkles round my eyes
Where laughter lines used to be.
Bifocals perched upon my nose
For everyone to see
My blonde hair once so lustrous and fair
Has turned a grayish white.
My figure now is pear-shaped
It gave up without a fight
I've got corns upon my toes,
My ankles swell and you can darn well tell
My bones are getting old.
I must watch what I eat.
Fat goes straight to my hips.
And I can't eat anything with pips.
They get stuck in my dentures you see.
With varicose veins, assorted pains
Dentist's bills and doctors visits.
Of course the biggest indignity
Is I have to get up in the night to pee.
I sat and thought, "Is this really me?"
Am I over the hill?
Sliding down the slippery slope
Towards senility.
Then yesterday, around about lunch
I passed some builders at work.
One shouted
"Hiya honey bunch
You're looking great, fancy a date?
And do you have a friend for my mate?
53? Why I'm still a young thing.
So what if I wiggle when I walk.
So what if some things droop
I can hold in my stomach.
Wear a lift-up bra
Colour my hair, buy contact lenses
(Well maybe not go that far)
For sure, there's one thing I'd better not forget
And that is….
There's life in the old girl yet!
