Now that I'm older

Can I still smoulder?

throw that look over my shoulder

or will the recipient grow colder

Is it still cool?

to look and drool

or breaking an unwritten rule

set down by the old school

I don't like cooking, knitting or sewing

My future path I'm not knowing

The seeds of the future already sown

Where am I going?

Can I be bold?

Who's going to scold?

Can I break the mould?

and not do what I'm told

Listen to doc's advice

it's not very nice

must give up every vice

start eating wholegrain rice

Yes, ageing is a trial

but worth every long mile

the people you make smile

makes it all worthwhile
