Gordon David (1st September 1959 / Edinburgh)
Age of Life
At the age of 1. We had lots of fun
At the age of 2. We began to chew
At the age of 3. We joined nursery
At the age of 4. We liked to explore
At the age of 5. We did the “Hand-Jive”
At the age of 6. We were in the mix
At the age of 7. We learned of heaven
At the age of 8. We had the same mate
At the age of 9. We were doing fine
At the age of 10. We had our own “Den”
At the age of 11. We went to Devon
At the age of 12. We reached the top shelve
Then in our “Teens” We learned what love means
Now that we’re old. We do as we're told
Husband and wife. We've had a good life
Now you and I. Just waiting to die.
