Ode to the Elderly

Tired woman Oh, I am just a little one.
I'm glad my life has just begun.
The fire of youth flows through my veins.
I don't have old folks' aches and pains.

Today I'm sad about old folks
And I've stopped telling old age jokes.
I've just found out it's hard to see
A relative that's elderly.

My mom is getting old and gray,
She had a birthday yesterday.
She may be old but still is purty,
For a woman who has lived to thirty.
