I'm not too fit, I'll have you know
I'm overweight and rather slow
But when I run, I manage; though
I'm breathless!
Though in the past it was not thus,
I am not one to swear and cuss,
Except that, trying to catch a bus,
I'm breathless!
When as a youth, I used to play
With sweet young ladies in the hay
The girls would be the ones to say:
"I'm breathless"!
At sport I'd always stay the course
I was as strong as any horse
But now, with just a little force,
I'm breathless!
I guess my life has reached the stage
When these things happen at my age.
If all my passions I assuage,
I'm breathless!
I have my annual body checks
And find out if I need new specs.
But sadly, when I'm having sex,
I'm breathless!
No longer, now, do I aspire
To climb a mountain, walk on fire;
Instead I curb each wild desire -
I'm breathless
