I'm grateful to be growing old; seniority agrees/with my inclination to sit back and take my ease/The hustle and the bustle, not to mention hurly burly/I leave with thankful heart to younger folk who get up early /There's time now for reflection and nostalgic reverie/for stories told to grandkids with their fresh credulity/I've kept my hair and all my teeth, so what more do I need/contentment to experience and happiness to breed?
If ever I was grateful, it's cuz I'm not the fowl/who's parted from his noggin around about the jowl/Dear turkey, I am sorry that you must eaten be/but in the grand scheme of things, it's better you than me!
