When I Was Younger



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 waist used to be.

The inventor of the 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.
