Keep A Stiff Upper Lip

Keep a stiff upper lip, it isn't that bad

Things will surely get better

Life is a series of these ups and downs

Surely isn't always fair weather

Unpredictable is a word that's often used

When referring to things in general

For some strange reason as we all get older

Life gets somewhat less pleasurable

Can't do the things we once did with ease

Restricted by physical abilities

At one time things were second nature to us

They now restrict our activities

But all things considered I'm doing quite well

For a man of my advancing years

Can't do ALL the thing I once used to do

Also lost some brain matter I fear
