Summary: Wishfull thinking.




Am I the wrong side of sixty?
not slow still terribly nifty,
can still run around
which is why I astound
all the slow coaches coming up fifty.

Still drive my old banger called bertie,
always up on the dot at six thirty,
walk several miles
never had piles
which is why all my friends get shirty.

Have everything that I require,
so decided, I should retire,
bask in the sun,
have plenty of fun,
with a toy boys, to fulfil my desire.
