"Bad Planning"

It's all down to Bad Planning!
I thought that I'd live fast,
Die young
And leave a beautiful memory!

But plans went awry.
I'm now too old to die young!
And even my memory
Is already fading!

They say that old age
Never arrives unaccompanied!
It brings all this other crap
Along with it!

So the aches and pains,
These tumours and diabetes,
These difficulties breathing
And peeing.

Are all down to Bad Planning
Not Old Age at all
Because... believe it or not,
I'm getting younger every day!
