Birthdays are good for you:
the more you have the longer you live.
Growing old is mandatory;
growing up is optional.
Forget the health food. I
need all the preservatives I can get.
You're getting old when you
get the same
sensation from a rocking chair that you once got
from a roller coaster.
Perhaps you know why women
over fifty don't have babies;
they would put them down somewhere
and forget where they left them.
I finally got my head
together, and my body fell apart.
The older you get, the
tougher it is to lose weight,
because by then your body and your fat are really good friends.
Age doesn't always bring
wisdom. Sometimes age comes alone.
Life not only begins at
forty, it begins to show.
You don't stop laughing
because you grow old;
you grow old because you stop laughing.
Age is important only if
you're cheese.
Seen it all, done it all,
can't remember most of it.
You know you're getting old
when you stoop to tie your shoes and
wonder what else you can do
while you're down there.
Every time I think about
exercise, I lie down 'till the thought goes away.

But though the word terminal rushes to
mind,
I'm proud, as
each Year

A reservoir of undiminished
Zeal
For checking
the symptoms my body's deployed,
And keeping my twenty-six doctors
employed.
