Ode to the Aged and Aging

by James von Dielingen


Hip hip for the old, and the lazy, too!
To those who groan when they tie their shoe!
Hooray for the creaky, snap crackle, and pop!
Those who don't sit down, but rather, they plop!
Three cheers for the achey, the slow to their feet,
Those who just need a nap ‘cause they're beat!
Huzzah to the moaners, the complainers as well!
Those who just need to stop and to rest for a spell!
Good tidings to the burning and pained, hemorrhoidal, 
And all those engaging in housework avoidal.
Here’s to those who grumble, mumble, and bellow,
You certainly are a jolly good fellow!
To all who are grouchy and showing their years,
I lift my glass and, with a toast, say, "Cheers!"
