Feeling like a waltz, growing old
Anybody feeling old tonight?

I am, but I'm feeling pretty good about it.

1. No, not especially.
Sometimes I do, but most of the time I like my age.

the alternative to getting old is dying young. i used to freak out about it, but now days it's all good.

7. So you object to
"die young, stay pretty, leave a good looking corpse"?

Yeah me too, I'm enjoying getting older.

5. Yeah, I'm feeling old
In the past couple of years, I've gone from being in pretty good shape to having an awful lot of aches and pains. It does make me feel old. However, as there's not a damn thing I can do about it, I'll just plug along. :shrug:

11. These days I feel younger
than I felt 10 years ago.

Ya know, when the doc tells you to eat right and exercise, it's probably a good idea to do what s/he says. :silly:

12. I'm not quite ready to get old.
I'm going to wait a wee while, and then jump to holding a 70th birthday party (I'll be about 50 or so at the time in reality).

Then I can walk around being grumpy, waving a walking stick at young-children of whom I disapprove. :bounce:
