Malcolm’s Story

The funny thing about growing old
It’s not as funny as I was told
But each day’s different, I’m pleased to say
And life's not boring in any way!

Every morning when I awake
There’s a new place where I ache
Then a lazy breakfast comes as a perk
Instead of that regular dash to work

There’s one thing that’s better for us
We get our free pass for the bus
And on our journey into town
We get reserved seats where we sit down

I have a list of things to fix
Don’t get me started on politics!
If I don’t like your point of view
Then I’m not wasting my time with you

And though we see things through a haze
We hope we’ll still see happy days
But each day’s different, I’m pleased to say
And life's not boring in any way!

Malcolm, most of the words are your own!
Tune; O’Carolan’s Fanny Power fits very well,
though the first part may be enough.

But I can see you doing it as a rap!
