On Turning 50
Though your gizzards are drying
Your bones loudly creakThere's no fun in dyingPlease last through the weekFifty's okay, better than fifty-oneWhile going downhillStay out of the sun'Cause age spots will sproutThey never come outYour hair it will fallLike rain in a squallAs you slowly rotThe friends that you've gotShare your dilemmaOops, i just dropped my enemaIt's no fun getting olderBut age makes you bolderPeople will give you a passThey'll whisper, "ignore the old ass"So hard to believe we're all getting herePlease talk on my right-I'm deaf in that earWe inch together toward the abyssWho's going first? Not me, I'll be missedAnd so will you oh, dearest friendI 'll love and admire you until the endWhich is soon, by the wayPack your bags and dress lightlyWhen you head toward the lightDon't look unsightlyWe've shared so much fun- you,*** and IIt seems such a shame we all have to dieWhat's that sound?Another vertebrae popped.They're popping like cornThe fun never stopsArthritis, wrinkles, sagging partsClogged up arteries, murmuring heartsDiseased livers, dangling boobsCataracts, constipation, breathing from tubesOops, out of oxygen- call 911Every day after fiftyBrings new funThe Grim Reaper's watchGoes tick... tick... tick... tockTime's up, all aboard!Are you ready to rock?You'd better get going,There's no where to hideFriends wait in front and behind youFor eternal good timesLet's go for a beer
