My Get Up And Go Has Went tea towel design featuring the poem -
How do I know my youth is all spent?
Well, my get up and go has got up and went.
But in spite of it all I'm able to grin
When I think of the places my get up has been.
Old age is golden so I've heard said
But sometimes I wonder when I get into bed.
With my ear in a drawer and my teeth in a cup,
My eyes on the table until I wake up.
As sleep dims my eyes I say to myself
Is there anything else I should lay on the shelf?
But I'm happy to say as I close on the door,
My friends are the same, perhaps even more.
When I was young my slippers were red,
I could kick my heels over my head.
When I grew older my slippers were blue,
But I could still dance the whole night through.
Now I am old, my slippers are black,
I walk to the store and puff my way back.
The reason I know my youth is all spent,
Is my get up and go has got up and went.
But I don't mind when I think with a grin
Of all the grand places my get up has been.
And since I've retired from life's competition
My schedules all scheduled (with complete repetition).
I get up each morning and dust off my wits,
Pick up the paper and read the 'obits',
If I see my name missing, I know I'm not dead,
So I eat a good breakfast and go back to bed.
