Eustace;
How freakin' old are you ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Don't tap dance around this question. You could be the oldest man in the world. Have you inquired?
Still young enough to have all of my teeth, and half of my wits,
But old enough to be vague as to how the occasional dangly bit fits.
Left out of things that are currently the rage,
Right in the square middle of square middle age.
My Quantum Mechanical tools are now rather rusted,
Balancing on a bike is a skill not to be trusted.
I've been forgetting things as the mind sets to rot,
So I've been writing it all down, lest the forgettable be forgot.
Some consider it rude to be asked about how old,
Or whether the last Ice Age was really that cold.
Mom remained twenty-nine when asked for a clue,
I am currently twice my Mom's age; Mom's age times two.
I'm not remotely the oldest Man on this Earth,
I've not done much to be considered of Worth.
With Age comes Wisdom, some idiots say,
I'm living proof that it just isn't that way.
Eustace
