Moldy Oldie

Bones that crack while standing up

Baggy breeches and medicine cups

Hard of hearing over the years

Hair grows out of senior ears

Dinner buffet by 3:00 p.m.

Bedtime before the barnyard hen

Gravity pulls parts out of place

Do titanium bras come in lace

Memory fading everyday

Wasn’t that important anyway

Defiantly operating an automobile

Reaper of death behind the wheel

Bladder loss and thinning hair

Diaper replaces sexy underwear

The hunt for mysteriously disappearing dentures

Suddenly becomes an exciting new adventure

Peculiar smells no one claims

Proud of it....you give it a name

Moldy Oldie you’ve earned the right

To blurt out exactly what’s on your mind

So don’t worry what your children think or say

Your beloved pet will inherit your entire estate
