Title:
It comes to us all.
We all sat in our old folks home moaning as only the geriatric can do. With tales of creaking, worn out joints and of problems getting to the loo. But old age brings a few small perks like speaking before you think. You can insult almost anyone and claim your brains on the blink. We listened to an eighty year old a good old stick called Miles. He literally kept us on the edge of our seats with stories of his inflamed piles. Old George is always up for a laugh he'll do anything for a shilling. In his mind he has sex ten times a night shame his todger's no longer willing. Madge is deaf and seventy four and always insists she's fine. But no matter what you say to her she answers with the time. I myself am ninety nine and live with not one care. I scratch my arse and pick my nose and leave wet patches on my chair. My time will be up soon enough and I'll be ashes in an urn. And the song I want played at the crematorium will be " Burn baby burn." So think ahead you young out there and live today like it's your last. 'Cause I'm sure yesterday I was twenty one bugger me doesn't time go fast?
