Don't Get Old

Never let your memories know your real age

nor let your actions assume.

Don't stare from an upstairs window

at a world full of youth

never let the words you utter let you down - don't talk about your afflictions 

don't drop your guard by not knowing the current "hit parade"

for...

for your clothes will pass on those signs 

Chinese whispers - don't let them lie

your choice of sensible footwear 

will declare it to your neighbourhood 

the car you drive knows the truth 

and your choice of apps on your chosen mobile phone says it all - if indeed you have one!

be your age - just...

don't get old
