Old Davy

Physically well for one in his early eighties without an ache or pain
Old Davy is a man who does never complain
The passing of time may have left him balding and gray
But he is happy to make the most of every day

One who does not have children or he never had a wife
But he did have a few love affairs in his life
And though he is too old for women now of himself he does say
He does make the most of his life's every day

The good things in life to him beer laughter and song
On Saturday evening at the pub he joins in the sing along
A likeable fellow and locally quite well known
Over the passing of time his friends in numbers have grown

Old Davy in his young years traveled far and wide
And of his past he is one who has nothing to hide
He may be an octogenarian but life he does enjoy
And in his ways he is as carefree as a happy boy

One of those one always feels happy to meet
I often see him walking in the park or on the street
A lovable old character free of any conceit or guile
He greets everybody with a cheerful good day and a toothy smile.
