THE MAN IN THE MIRROR


You see what you want to see
I was shaving that guy that was me
Never look below the chin
Some say age makes one a has been
In two weeks I have lost six pounds
Hey, it is not as easy as it sounds
I like broccoli raw and fresh peas
Cut out those dough nuts please
Why am I trying to lose weight
Its not just to feel great
I have this thing with myself each year
I shoot a three point basket raise and cheer
Now this kid is approaching seventy two
It ain't as easy to toss that thing through
Last year I did it with o degree vertical jump
Ball felt heavy had to pump and pump
Took three shots with no legs beneath all arms
This year I want to do it once set off alarms
How many years am I going to shoot three point baskets
I think until someone is carrying me around in caskets
Next year I am going to wrestle a gorilla
Brother in law getting older hes an odd looking fellah
