‘Pon my spine, pressure of gravity,
On brain's grey cells that of levity,
And my age shows its age,
Ear and nose hair as rage,
Wonder what'll happen past my eighty!

Experts say that women shrink by about 5 cm and men by 3 cm, and the ear and nose hair grow up to 2 cm by the age of seventy. I've just turned eighty and wonder what more is in store for me.
