Age.

Age is just a number.

That is what they say.

My number then is 87

For 10 months that will stay.

But hang on just a minute.

My knee-joints are much less.

I've only had them 19 years,

My teeth are even less.

In fact it doesn't matter.

What number you pick on,

So long as that inside your head

Is only twenty-one.

My last one was 15 years my junior, yet he seemed much older than me!! He was a BIG mistake that lasted 17 years, but now I have one who's only 10 months my junior - a much better choice - and I've now stopped looking. πŸ₯°
