Age is just A Number

 With every passing Birthday

A milestone passes by

Not so many more  Happy returns

As the numbers get far too high

Blowing out those candles

 becomes expensive too

Time passes you by 

While your stood in the queue

They say Age is just a number

Yes when you are young

Agreeing with the sentiment

After sixty aint fun

Retirement is so welcoming

After working fifty Years

The smoke from those candles

Has reduced Me to tears

Many days have gone and passed me by

Times running out so I'll try

To enjoy what's left with fun and games

while dancing in the sun and rain

They say Age is just a number

Yes when you are young

Agreeing with the sentiment

After sixty aint fun

Lets all do the pain free Gout

Lets all try to twist and shout

Lets all go to the skateboard park

 Try a backside flipside for a lark

Maybe fall upon my ass

While attempting a dare and helipop pass

Age isn't a barrier when your laid up in bed

After falling over and banging your head

They say Age is just a number

Yes when you are young

Agreeing with the sentiment

After sixty aint fun

Just relax and enjoy your recovery time

An Aspirin or two and you'll be fine

Drink plenty of water cold with Ice

Or a cream soda "Now that would be nice"

They say Age is just a number

But only when your young

Agreeing with the sentiment

After sixty aint fun

They say a third of your life "You will sleep"

Another third is working and stopping to eat

The rest of your time is spent singing the blues

Waiting for Trains while reading bad news

Many days have gone and passed me by

Times running out so I'll try

To enjoy what's left with fun and games

while dancing in the sun and rain

They say Age is just a number

Yes when you are young

Agreeing with the sentiment

After sixty aint fun

Just relax and enjoy your recovery time

An Aspirin or two and you'll be fine

Drink plenty of water cold with Ice

Or a cream soda "Now that would be nice"
