Age is like wine, it gets better with time.
But why do my legs hurt more?
Why is it harder to read the nice print in my paper?
Why do I throw only four holes, but feel like I golfed all day?
Oh, I know!  Age is like wine, only mine gets tired with time!

I see myself in bed by nine.  I wonder if it's the wine?
Look, a young athlete guy with sandy brown hair just went by,
He has long, strong, muscled legs, with a broad chest and strong arms,
He walks like a feline, and golfs like a pro,
I wonder who he is.
 
r
Oh, that's me, and I am only twenty-nine today!
Age is like wine, it gets better with time.
So I am better looking, because I am only eighty-six,
Going on twenty nine.
