I’m not yet old
|
1 |
|
although I’m turning grey,
|
2 |
|
I act quite young, I’m told.
|
3 |
|
|
|
|
I do not a chore,
|
4 |
|
but I love to play…
|
5 |
|
doing work is such a bore.
|
6 |
|
|
|
|
I’m not yet old,
|
7 |
|
but I’ve learned to adore
|
8 |
|
friendship more than the rarest gold.
|
9 |
|
|
|
|
I still buy from the ice cream man.
|
10 |
|
My laundry, I never fold.

|
I’m Gerry Garcia's # 1 fan.
|
12 |
|
|
|
|
My soul, I’m proud, I have not sold.
|
13 |
|
Everything I own fits in my van—
|
14 |
|
yet, with the times, I’ve rolled.
|
15 |
|
|
|
|
I suppose that I could be cajoled,
|
16 |
|
but chances are slim on that.
|
17 |
|
I’m not yet old.
|
18 |
|
I act quite young, I’m told.
