Its not our age

[Misspears]

Just a line to say were living

That were not among the dead

Though were getting more forgetful

And more mixed up in our head.

Sometimes we cant remember

At the bottom of the stairs,

If we must go up for something

Or we've just come down from there.

Were before the fridge so often

And our mind is full of doubt -

Have we just put food away

Or have we come to take it out ?

And there are times when it is dark

Our night-caps on our head

We don't know if were retiring

Or just getting out of bed !

If it's our turn to write to you

There's no need of getting sore

For we may think that we have written

And we don't want to be a bore.

Just remember we do love you

We wish that you were here

Now that it's nearly mail time

We must sign off, my dear.

Were standing at the mail box

With a face that's near beet red

For instead of mailing you our letter

We've opened it instead!
