Old Jack O

Eventually we all become victims of time
Old Jack O a great athlete in his life's prime
The years of living on his body does show
The man who once ran fast is now walking slow

In the nineteen fifties the town's best athlete
Against the Country's best with success he did compete
In each big race victory he added to his renown
As a sporting great of a sports mad town

In his late eighties in the twilight of his life
Old Jack O has grown old with Margo his long devoted wife
Their children the grandparents of teenagers today
The time on our lives ever does tick away

Old Jack O in the twilight of his life span
Remains as he always was a nice, humble and down to earth man
He was a great athlete many decades ago
But time as we do know becomes everyone's foe.
