I'm going on a journey to find the fountain of youth,
Because I was just told, I am getting long in the tooth.
My dentist said my roots go deep into my jaw,
they are in so deep, they should be against the law.
I said they are so long because I am older than dirt.
All the hairs I have are gray, even those beneath my shirt.
Every time I rise from a chair, I make a little sound.
It annoys some people, at least that is what I have found.
I have arthritis in my back, also in both my hands.
If I'm going to find that fountain, I need to make some plans.
I need to write it down now, before it slips my mind
People say I am forgetful, but that's a bit unkind.
My eyesight is so bad I can't even see fifty feet.
I'd probably miss the fountain if it was across the street.
My knee hurts so much that if I don't wear my brace,
It is very difficult to get from place to place.
To find this missing fountain, I should buy a book.
Maybe it would tell me where I can go and look
I guess I'll just have to sit here and wear a silly little smile,
because to discover the fountain of youth, may take me quite a while
