Young and now

When i was young, I could run all day

Prance over fields, climb bales of hay

Climbing trees without a care

Because I'm young and can! So there

Now I'm old, can't walk all day

My allergies! They don't like hay

To climb a tree, would not be great

It's bound to topple with my weight

Roll down hills when I was young

Dancing in the bright warm sun

Skip upon the river stones

Then leapfrog all the way to home 

Now I cannot climb a.....hill!

Getting heatstroke takes some skill

If I skipped on river stones

I'd be in hospital far from home
