WHEN YOU AND I WERE YOUNG, MAGGIE !

I wandered today to the hill, Maggie
To watch the scene below
The creek and the rusty old mill, Maggie
Where we sat in the long, long ago.
The green grove is gone from the hill, Maggie
Where first the daisies sprung
The old rusty mill is still, Maggie
Since you and I were young.

A city so silent and lone, Maggie
Where the young and the gay and the best
In polished white mansion of stone, Maggie
Have each found a place of rest
Is built where the birds used to play, Maggie
And join in the songs that were sung
For we sang just as gay as they, Maggie
When you and I were young.

        

They say I am feeble with age, Maggie
My steps are less sprightly than then
My face is a well written page, Maggie
But time alone was the pen.
They say we are aged and grey, Maggie
As spray by the white breakers flung
But to me you're as fair as you were, Maggie
When you and I were young.

And now we are aged and grey, Maggie
The trials of life nearly done
Let us sing of the days that are gone, Maggie
When you and I were young.

A distinguished older gentleman, who was the dinner speaker was in such a hurry to get to his engagement that when he arrived and sat down at the head table, he suddenly realized that he had forgotten his false teeth.
Turning to the man next to him, he said, " I forgot my teeth. "

The man said,....." No problem. "

With that, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a pair of false teeth.
..... " Try these, " he said.

The speaker tried them. " Too loose," he said.

The man then said, " I have another pair.....try these. "

The speaker tried them and responded, " Too tight. "

The man was not taken back at all. He then said,
" I have one more pair of false teeth.....try them. "

The speaker said, " They fit perfectly. "

With that he ate his meal and gave his address. After the dinner meeting was over, the speaker went over to thank the man who had helped him.

" I want to thank you for coming to my aid. Where is your office ? I've been looking for a good dentist. "

The man replied, " I'm not a dentist. I'm the local undertaker. "
