What's the use OF growing old7
Not the slightest bit.
At threescore a man need not
Fold his arms and quit.
That's what the professor says.
Calm your doubts and fears,
You can just be starting in
At one hundred years.
It is easy. so they say
Who have never tried.
Only need to have the rules
Thoroughly applied.
Just IKE falling off a log
Backward. they allow.
But they always die before
They have shown us how.
Once in every little while
Some one comes along
Who can beat the dying game
Or his guess is wrong.
He can tell you what to do
So you'll last and thrive
For a century or two
And still be alive.
What's the use OF dying young.
Dropping off for keeps.
AT the age of ninety-two?
Hear them sigh, "He sleeps"
You can spend some fifty more
Years OF pleasant ease.
