My Get-up-and-Go has Got up and Went

Old age is golden, or so I’ve heard said, But sometimes I wonder, as I crawl into bed, With my ears in a drawer, my teeth in a cup, My eyes on the table until I wake up. As sleep dims my vision, I say to myself: Is there anything else I should lay on the shelf? But, though nations are warring, and Congress is vexed, We’ll still stick around to see what happens next!

How do I know my youth is all spent? My get-up-and-go has got up and went! But, in spite of it all, I’m able to grin And think of the places my getup has been!

When I was young, my slippers were red; I could kick up my heels right over my head. When I was older my slippers were blue, But still I could dance the whole night through. Now I am older, my slippers are black. I huff to the store and puff my way back. But never you laugh; I don’t mind at all: I’d rather be huffing than not puff at all!


I get up each morning and dust off my wits, Open the paper, and read the Obits. If I’m not there, I know I’m not dead, So I eat a good breakfast and go back to bed!
