Subject: Walk With Me While I Age
I hope this poem has the same effect on you as it did on me; then my forwarding it will be worth the effort. Walk with me while I age - worth the read.

Old man take a look at my life I'm a lot like you

I need someone to love me the whole day through

Ah, one look in my eyes and you can tell that's true.
Old man look at my life,

I'm a lot like you were.

Old man look at my life,

I'm a lot like you were.

It depends what you're forgetting, but sometimes, forgetting is not all bad.
Old joke: Why do elephants drink? To forget.

@ madmurdoc,
Great song and of late it means so much more to me.
Other than that,
Never pass by a washroom without using it.

Never trust a fart.

Never waste a hard-on.
And, something that seems more than apropos to me:
Wisdom comes with age, but sometimes age come alone. :wink:

Newbroom: excellent videos. going from very high on laughter to an urgent need of a pipe to think about that second song. Brilliant!

Hell, sometimes I'll be looking for a pipe only to discover it's hanging from my jaw. :mrgreen:

I'd like to go drink with some elephants...

I am growing older

Each year it gets colder

Once I used to be fortune's soldier

Now, I am getting bolder

Jeez chasingembers, you must be leading one hell of a hard life at your age to be getting that forgetful! From your picture you don’t look to be any older than somewhere in the mid 40’s +. If by chance you’re in the late 60’s or older my hat off to you for holding up so well!

That's a good thought, Brad. I just turned 74 last Friday, and I'm not old--I'm just adding years to my experiences.
