If you are fit and healthy you aren’t old,
And can ignore it if you’re ever told
By other people, that it is their view,
There really are some things you shouldn’t do.
No joining in with those you are among.
By getting up and dancing with the young,
No trying everything that comes to hand,
Because advancing age means things are banned.
No going out each day, returning late,
For that is wrong in your now aged state.
No taking up new hobbies which would mean
An active role within the sporting scene;
No learning any difficult new skills,
No going out because of winter chills;
No running round at speed as in the past,
For those who’ve reached your age should not move fast.
It doesn’t matter if you’re ninety-two,
The only one to try and please is you,
And if you’re fit enough and also bold,
You really shouldn’t feel that you’re too old,
To get involved in everything you can
Like any younger woman or young man.
