Getting old, up in the big years, life can be a slow, downward spiral; particularly, if you were in such a hurry during your adult years.

Getting Too Old

Getting too old
With so many diseases,
Nothing feels good
It only displeases,
Piece by piece body parts
Fail, one by one,
Getting too old
Doesn't seem very fun.

Approaching the grave
Can be a slow painful creep,
If you hurried while living
This hill will be steep.
