I know.
I am a 61 year old male
and that qualifies me as a grumpy old man!
I like my crazy hair!
I like my colourful outfits.
If it's cold - I put on more crazy outfits!
I dress to the weather
and three quid is too much for a coffee - anyway, I've good coffee at home!
I am a grumpy old man!
I like my own company
I know what a good diet is
so no; I don't want 'fries' with that!
(and it's chips by the way!)
What you perceive as being stubborn
is actually me knowing what I want
I've lived long enough to know that!
I am a grumpy old man!
My testosterone levels may be down
my hearing may be half way out the door
and my concentration span - well that's shrunk to the size of a pea
but I'm certain
television programs were better back in the day
we may have hundreds of channels today - but there's still nothing worth watching for this grumpy old man!
I don't need everything in my life to be new
I don't need gallons of 'energy drinks' to make it through the day
and I certainly don't want the latest smartphone - and I don't want to pay for everything with one either
so you can keep your apps!
I - am a grumpy old man!
But I can do a good job
I can be relied upon
I call customers 'sir or madam'
and I still hold doors open for other people - I am 'old school '
I have a head full of knowledge
my body aches in certain places - but that's my body telling me its experienced
and I was taught how to do up my shoe laces!
This grumpy old man's clock is still ticking
but no-one knows how long they've got
and at 61
I might have less time left than you
but I was brought up not to be rude
I was brought up to respect other people
so if I blank you
when you see me
it just might mean
I've something better to do
with the precious time Ive got left
'cos I - I am a grumpy old man!
You've been warned!
