Slide 2:Today  at the drugstore, the clerk was a gent. From my purchase this  chap took off ten percent. I asked for the cause of a lesser  amount; And he answered, Because of the Seniors Discount.
Slide 3:I  went to McDonald's for a burger and fries; And there, once  again, got quite a surprise. The clerk poured some coffee  which he handed to me. He said, For you, Seniors, the coffee  is free.
Slide 4:Understand---I'm not old---I'm merely mature;  But some things are changing, temporarily, I'm sure. The  newspaper print gets smaller each day, And people speak  softer---can't hear what they say.
Slide 5:My teeth are my own (I have the receipt.),  and my glasses identify people I meet. Oh, I've slowed  down a bit...not a lot, I am sure. You see, I'm not old...I'm  only mature
Slide 6:My bike is all paid for...not a nickel is owed.  Yet a kid yells, Old duffer...get off of the road! My bike  has no scratches...not even a dent. Still I get all that guff  from a punk who's Hell bent.
Slide 7:The gold in my hair has been bleached by the sun.  You should see all the damage that chlorine has done.  Washing my hair has turned it all white, But don't call it  gray...saying blond is just right.
Slide 8:My friends all get older...much faster than me.  They seem much more wrinkled, from what I can see. I've  got character lines, not wrinkles...for sure, But don't call  me old...just call me mature.
Slide 9:The steps in the houses they're building today  Are so high that they take your breath all away; And the  streets are much steeper than ten years ago. That should  explain why my walking is slow.
Slide 10:But I'm keeping up on what's hip and what's new,  And I think I can still dance a mean boogaloo. I'm still  in the running...in this I'm secure, I'm not really old...I'm  only mature Youth is a gift of nature.Â
Age is a work of art.
