Aging

Ugh

by Cecilia A Heiskary

My old achy body wants to quit
Waking in the morning, take a hit
My knees hurt and I need new parts
They try to give out and it smarts
 
My back feels stiff every day
I'm getting old and want my way
The feet hurt all day long
I shake my head, and think it's wrong
 
I have a pharmacy under my sink
When did I get old? Let me think
It seems like I woke up one day
Saw the mirror image, what to say?
 
I need to keep moving for health sake
Getting motivated isn't a piece of cake
I'll keep on until I can take a break
Going to go home now and bake

Aging is not for the weak
Pays one point and 2 member cents.
