Never Ever Ever Ever Expected This

I swear it is raining outside today Anyway, it feels like it in my bones. Arthritis has kicked up her heels Reminding me I am not a spring chicken Or even a lively old tired worn-out rooster I am long in the tooth as we loved to say When we were young and reckless and never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever expected to get old. But old I am and it is raining outside And my body is yawning And I want a nap Which I can now take Thank god For I am old A motorcycle ride? Okay Who wants to live forever anyway?

Caren, Oh the aches and pains of rain and age on all us chickens. Two wheels? Been there, done that. Even rode through snow a few times. "Get your motor runnin' Head out on the highway.... Lookin' for adventure.... And whatever comes our way" -Steppenwolf

And let us not forget it is raining so that is a great component.
