******

When I was in my younger days,
I weighed a few pounds less.
I needn't hold my tummy in
To wear a belted dress.

***

But now that I am older,
I've set my body free;
There's comfort of elastic
Where once my waist would be.

***

Inventor of those high-heeled shoes
My feet have not forgiven;
I have to wear a nine now,
But used to wear a seven.

***

And how about those pantyhose--
They're sized by weight, you see,
So how come when I put them on
The crotch is at my knee?

***

I need to wear these glasses
As the print's been getting smaller;
And it wasn't very long ago
I know that I was taller.

***

Though my hair has turned to gray
And my skin no longer fits,
On the inside, I'm the same old me,
But the outside's changed a bit!
