Let's think of age this way
by Natassja K.

Wow... You are getting very old.
And where have those years gone?
Well, I don't know - but I've got this:
I'm sure that you'll catch on.
Just name some of the world's delights:
I'm thinking... Cheese and wine.
What do they have in common?
(It's not that you have them to dine.)
Why of course, they both improve:
They both improve with age.
The longer left, the better taste,
And you are at that stage.
But oh my dear - please do not fret!
For such things like you weight,
For it is widely known you see,
That weight is in your fate!
No, no, no. Not like that my friend,
But in a different way,
For you'll see that intelligence
Bears a heavy weight.
In case you haven't caught on yet,
Well what I'm trying to say,
Is that age is a favourable thing.
In many different ways.
