before and after



i am 60, going on 70, i've grow up! just like a lump.
the floor makes me trip, i land on my hip,
i've fallen! i can't get up!

i am 60 going on 70, once i was sweet and young,
now wrinkles and sags and crow's feet and bags:
what once was tight's now sprung.

totally unprepared am i for my man to retire.
bear him at home all day? can i?
just light my funeral pyre.

i need someone younger and stronger
taking me to the loo,
he is 60 going on 70, who'll take care of who?

a-one more time:

oh, i have eight cats, i crochet hats,
it's what you're supposed to do,
when you're 60 going on 70,
watch out! it's coming for you!

ok, i'm back, don't talk about it

THE WONDERFUL DOCTOR OF OZ

"We're off to see the doctor, the wonderful doctor of oz.
We hear he is a freak about germs if ever a freak there was.
Wear gloves to the grocery, don't eat the dip,
Don't touch your face with a fingertip.
Why, oh, why, cuz Dr. Oz is scared, scared of the everyday things he does.
(and he wants to be sure we're scared too. so there.)
But all the women love him,
The wonderful doctor of oz.
