I came upon some mid-life cheer
What's good about getting old?
But my knees bend quite well, they do
And I look young, I'm told
Piece this, stitch that, good grief, I'll mend
Good heavens, did it help a thing?
Until airborne, my ashes fly
I'll try to have a fling

Oh crap, this song is way too long!
Too many lyrics unfurled
If this dumb song don't float your boat
Will rocks at me be hurled?
I don't have many aches and pains
That middle age can bring
And I can hear, I never wore
Head phones that made my ears ring

Those 90 somethings on the road--
To them I'm bowing low
My sweet grandma is one of them
And to her much I owe
The Irish in her still helps her smile
'Tis quite a charming thing
Her mind is sharper than a tack
What memories she brings

And so I'm gonna wrap this up
I guess I'm not that old
Those folks with silver in their hair
What stories they have told
So please just look for a little mirth
In every little thing
And may you laugh upon this earth
Until the fat lady sings
