A Grand Old Pair

I do feel it an honor having them live on our street
And though i do not see them often they are a pleasure for to meet
Though it has been many Seasons since they were in their life's prime
The old pair Judy and Joe refuse to bow to time
They must be close to eighty the years have left them gray
But they  look fit and healthy and go for walks every day
Sometimes i see them in the park out walking arm and arm
They win me with their happy ways and their unprententious charm
They do not use anti ageing creams or hair dyes the pair who age with grace
Without them living in it the neighbourhood would be a worse off place
With a natural charm about them and great warmth in their hello
Known and admired by many they do not have a foe
They do not hide their wrinkles or dye their silver hair
It truly can be said of them that they are a grand old pair.
