Another poem( not by me)!
By feverfew
5 comments
In the bible-we are taught, that at 70 we ought to decide to give it best, lay us down and take our rest, quit the scene of weary strife, gracefully depart this life.
Modern man this course declines but will take out marriage lines at the age of 88, to obtain a helpful mate, make a fresh romance & start with a new transplanted heart.
You can get another lung, kidney, liver and tongue, arms & legs & hands & knees can be fitted as you please.
Simple rules you can peruse are included with the screws.
Proudly you may see in spate, children grand and great , great , great. They their ancestor will greet at your
umpteenth birthday treat.
So, revise that bible truth, 70 is the pride of youth.
( Best wishes for 2923).

That's encouraging for me
Coming up to eighty three...
Never mind the Bible's span
Keep on living while you can...
