102 - Gnarly

It really isn’t fair

When old men lose their hair

It insulated their brain

And stopped them going insane

And it’s a terrible thing

When you get a double chin

It’s harder to move your head

The problem’s quite widespread

And don’t give me any buts

About the size of my guts

Although I had some advice

That my bum still looks quite nice

There’s hair in my ears and nose

And on my gnarly toes

But for all the things I fear

At least I am still here
