At three score years

Two score years was before I had gathered proof
the timelessness of time passes by fast as a youth

At two score years and ten I still hadn’t given any thought
that each minute was a bonus and a lesson to be taught

Also at two score years and ten I started wondering what life was about
My children had children 
time was flying by without a doubt

Nowadays I stand at three score years
I am getting well passed my prime
of the unwrinkled skin it appears
on my up those golden stairs climb

But fear ye not I am not ready to give in
Tho when I take a little trip
I notify my next of kin

One cannot be complacent
yet I am happy with my health
As I speak yes I am like a ceaking gate
but I stroll on slowly with stealth

So I have reached where I am now
and coz I haven’t got a crystal ball
How many years shall I live ?
Have I got a long haul ?

Well to tell you the truth
I would not want to know
The date with a time when it’s my moment to go

So until the dreaded day when I shall speak no more
my mouth has closed in demise and they are lifting me out the door

I will walk coz I can’t run
I can laugh and I love fun
My brain may be befuddled
In a state of disillusion
but when one gets on abit
Absent-mindedness is a foregone conclusion

I shall do exactly what I want til the end of my days
A little of what one fancies is very good for you 
That’s what everyone says

Haha tho if you see me in a hedge
Coz I must have thought I was a bird
I lifted off in mid-air to spread my wings
but only broken bones was incurred

For Pity’s sake help me out
put me in a straight jacket
I won’t know where I am about
I should be secured with a bracket

Teehee now I am losing the plot
getting carried away
So I will stop my waffling on
I have had my say!!
