Growing pains.

I feel I'm getting older Full of aches and pains My body keeps on telling me I will never be young again. I used to be a drinker I admit I drank too much But now I'm reaching seventy I hate the blooming stuff. Now I'm on the Doc spot Everyday I attend the gym Although I feel I'm losing weight I will never be nice and slim. My wife and I walk our dog We take him out each day He sniffs and barks at everything Won't tell you what I say. Youth they say is a flame that burns But I feel my flames gone out Now if you were to see me Well I'm nothing to shout about. I wonder how my wife does cope I'm beginning to repeat my words And when I try to tell her things She says I sound obsurd. So I guess I'll have to face the fact There's no more climbing hills For me its the downhill spiral So I'll carry on taking the pills
