WARNING: This post is not for the young Spyderlovers!!!

[Spyderjockey]

I thought this is appropriate for a lot of us "older Spyderlovers" and somebody might enjoy it!!:roflblack::yes:

It is better to say "I'm fine" with a grin,
Than to let people know the shape we are in.

I'M FINE!! HOW ARE YOU?

There's nothing the matter with me,
I'm just as healthy as can be,
I have arthritis in both knees,
And when I talk, I talk with a wheeze.
My pulse is weak, my blood is thin,
But I'm awfully well for the shape I'm in.

All my teeth have had to come out,
And my diet I hate to think about.
I'm overweight and I can't get thin,
But I'm awfully well for the shape I'm in.

And arch supports I need for my feet.
Or I wouldn't be able to go out in the street.
Sleep is denied me night after night,
But every morning I find I'm all right.
My memory's failing, my head's in a spin.
But I'm awfully well for the shape I'm in.

Old age is golden I've heard it said,
But sometimes I wonder, as I go to bed.
With my ears in a drawer, my teeth in a cup,
And my glasses on a shelf, until I get up.
And when sleep dims my eyes, I say to myself,
Is there anything else I should lay on the shelf?

The reason I know my Youth has been spent,
Is my get-up-and-go has got-up-and-went!
But really I don't mind, when I think with a grin,
Of all the places my get-up has been.

I get up each morning and dust off my wits,
Pick up the paper and read the obits.
If my name is missing, I'm therefore not dead,
So I eat a good breakfast and jump back into bed.

The moral of this as the tale unfolds,
Is that for you and me, who are growing old.
It is better to say "I'm fine" with a grin,
Than to let people know the shape we are in.

I'M FINE!! HOW ARE YOU?

Never had a bad day.

I always answer that I have never had a bad day and every night is a honeymoon.

 

[SpyderAnn01]

[Trickie Dick]

If I was any better, I'd be twins.hyea:

[Chupaca]

Good one..!!

I'm fine, how are all of you. Strangely enough I find that in many cases I am in better shape than many of the young. I can still get up and enjoy the outside without any electronic dependancy yet not without my :f_spider:.. :roflblack:

 

[Bob Denman]

How am I?
Well; the Missus keeps saying that I'm better than nothing! :shocked:

 

[El Dorado Bob]

I'm Fine myself thank you

"I'm fine" with being just 23 days away from being a card carrying Medi Care Part A and B recipient. In fact a month or so back there was a thread about jump starting a Spyder and I thought "I'm fine" with that if you need a little help or maybe we can just hook your spyder up to the difibulator in my chest and get you going Good part to this aging is we can ride most any day. The wife and I have just 29 more states to visit to claim we did it on a motorcycle, that is both two and three wheels. Anyone in California up for a Iron Butt run this year, 1000 miles in 24 hours? You don't have to be senior to try it.

[ARtraveler]

Some good words of wisdom for all of us to ponder.

 

[bcoulter19]

As my 80 year old father always says "If I was any better I'd have to pay admission"

 

[Bonniele]

Really cute and (maybe- don't want to admit it) true!
