Age Is A Curse

by John Pittman

Age is a curse

What's that? An extra step,

I have never seen you before

I remember every step I took until the age of forty four

Over the threshold I went

My body said “nope I decline”

It didn't want to do it anymore It said I had to pay my fine.

My back and my feet were the first to go

Then my body came to collected my knees

I didn't matter how much I begged

My body ignored my pleas

I gave you my youth and joy and stuff

What else could be due

I want your hands, your joints, and your other points Just to name a few

Age is a curse it said

It can only run its course

Enjoy your age through and through

Until your final voice
