Second Wind

Now I'm Sixty Four

With apologies to Sir Paul McCartney who is ten years older than me but shares my birthday.

Now that I'm older still got my hair
Many years have passed
Grateful if you send me a valentine
Better still a bottle of wine
Hate staying out till quarter to three
Did I lock the door?
Though you don't need me, will you still feed me
Now I'm sixty four?

You've got older too
I daren't say a word
Want to stay with you.

I am still useless mending a fuse
When the lights have gone
No one knits a sweater by the fireside
Sunday mornings no time to ride
Doing the garden, digging the weeds
Who could ask for more?
Though you don't need me, will you still feed me
Now I'm sixty four?

Every summer you can book a ticket for a long haul flight
Glad it's not too dear
Got the mortgage paid.
Grandchildren on your knee
Coral, Blaze and Jade.

Send me an e mail, tweet me a tweet
Status, point of view.
Indicate roughly what u mean 2 say
Yours sincerely, tapping away
Give me your answer, filling a form
Takes for evermore
Though you don't need me, will you still feed me
Now I'm sixty four?
Ho!
