Please don't send me web sites
On getting older anymore
It's bad enough I pop my pills
While walking out the door.
Even though most of that is true
Just look what you have done
My body is over fifty now
But in my mind I'm twenty-one.
Can't you let me forget my age?
And stop reminding me now and then
I'd prefer to think of myself as a kid
And not as a senior ol' hen.
So from now on I'll delete them all
'Cause to me they're far from fun
I'm trying hard to forget my age
In my mind I'm still twenty-one!
