Timeless Fun

This old man he played one for all his life he’d had some fun. This old man he played two living where his dad went to. This old man he played three wrapped in special family. This old man he played four the world became his own front door. This old man he played five and learned the way to still survive. This old man he played six and also learned himself some tricks. This old man he played seven and learned to turn hell into heaven. This old man he played eight and found new things at every gate. This old man he played nine and grew up knowing he’d do fine. This old man he played ten and stood apart from other men. This young man’s now sixty nine but Army Brats don’t age with time! Ivor G Davies
