Codgeriatricity

When I accused my husband Mark, (who I am going to call Marcus for purposes of anonymity) of acting like an old Codger he just started to laugh and didn't deny it.  Of course if you know what an old Codger is that means you automatically are one.  Women of course, cannot be old Codgers.  We avoid codgeriatricity like the plague.

However, we women do get old and I think we need a cool song to sing about olderness, so I have adapted, aka "stolen" the lyrics of "Hey Soul Sister" from Train to fit my purposes.

Hey Old Sister 
Train
(Adapted by Larainy Days)

Hey, hey, hey

You've got lipstick stains

on your front tooth

also spider veins

I knew I wouldn't forget you

And so I went and let you

Blow my mind

Your wrinkle cream

The smell of you in every

Single dream I dream

Ever since our carts collided

In the parking lot at Walmart

Our love could not subside

Hey old sister

Don't you call me mister

I'm just old like you, gray like you

The way we move ain't fast, you know

Hey old sister

I can't hear 

a single thing you say

Tonight

Hey, hey, hey

Just in time

I'm so glad you have

A sluggish mind like me

You give backseat direction

 Offer me the whole sport section

Make me wanna cry

I'm so obsessed

My heart is bound to beat

Right out my hair chest

I need my digitalis

Oh how can you be so callous

and I'm sure I'm going to blow out my heart valve

Hey old sister

Don't you call me mister

I'm just old like you, gray like you

The way we move ain't fast, you know

Hey old sister

I can't hear 

A single thing you say

Tonight

 The way you vacuum the rug

Watching you is the only drug I need

So peppy, I'm a slug

You're the only one I'm dreaming of

You see, I can be myself now finally

In fact I'll let my eyebrows grow

Listen to Glenn Beck's talk show

Hey old sister

Don't you call me mister

I'm just old like you

The way we move ain't fast, you know

Hey old sister

I can't hear 

a single thing you say

Tonight

Hey old sister

I can't hear 

a single thing you say

Tonight

Hey, hey, hey

Tonight

Hey, hey hey

Tonight
