Today the clocks stop
And the calendars freeze
And those chaps down in Greenwich
Can all take their ease.
Leastways, as concerning
This most recent rage
The topic? – Let’s drop it!
No more of my age.
No more to grow older
Why I simply refuse!
I have plenty things else
About which to amuse.
So remember –
As Father Time passes
With gifts on his plate
Wrinkles and lines
And gray hair for your pate
Just say, ‘No thank you!
‘I’ll not have any more.’
And know you can do it
Check your Jack Benny lore.
