The Good Life

This old jalopy keeps on going

this old jalopy keeps on going with rubber bands and string and such but climbing up the steepest hills can sometimes be a bit much

so take it easy, won’t you please? can often be the command as if I had another choice no matter what the demand

there may still be a will but there’s no longer a way the brain suggests push and pull but the limbs decide to stay

go faster, and get everything done but I only manage half you might think I can still go fast but I think you’re having a laugh

when all is said and occasionally done and I’ve tried my very best I’ll then sit down with a nice little cuppa and, for most of the day, have a rest
