WHEN I WAS YOUNGER

When I was in my younger days, I weighed a few pounds less, I needn’t hold my tummy in… To wear a belted dress.

But now that I am older, I’ve set my body free; There’s comfort of elastic… Where once my slim waist used to be.

The inventor of those high-heeled shoes My feet have never forgiven; I have to wear a nine now… But I used to wear a seven.

And how about those pantyhose… They’re sized by weight, you see, So how come when I put them on… The crotch is at my knees?

Now I need to wear these glasses As the print is getting smaller; And it wasn’t very long ago… I knew that I was taller.

Though my hair has turned to silver And my skin no longer fits… On the inside, I’m the same old me, Just the outside’s changed a bit.
