I am "The Incredible Aging Man"
Aging right before your eyes
Something that I plan to continue to do
Until the day it is I died

Watch as the wrinkles magically appear
In the most unlikely of places
See the thinning of hair, the enlarging of ears
The forgetfulness of where I last placed it

Learn how to use your patience
As over time I am losing mine
Using familiar phrases like it'll be okay
And your going to be just fine

Show up with your loud voices
As my hearing starts to wain
And feel free to read letters to me
As my eye sight does the same

Listen in as I moan and groan
When weak in the knees I bend and buckle
Come with me on the day they put me away
As I become increasingly befuddled

Sit with me here as into the distance I stare
Forgetting now who it is I am
I do so hope you enjoy the show
Of this "The Incredible Aging Man"
