My oh, my I am getting old

I think at times my mind has dissolved,

And trying to cram in information these days

Is a lot harder now than back in the day,

Is this what’s known as cognitive decline

But I am still doing more than at any time,

Which maybe it shouldn’t be but it is

Still working long hours and bringing up other’s kids,

But if it dropped off then maybe I would to

It’s so difficult to know the truth,

Keeping active in mind and body keeps you sharp

But does it also do damage to you working this hard,

And all my life it has always been this way

No real rest all work and no play,

I guess I’ll get my rest when in my grave

Though that’s a bit dark and once again,

I have to stop here because work is calling

It seems ultimately this is my life and I should stop stalling.
