Old Joe

The Town's greatest footballer fifty years ago
But time as they say becomes everyone's foe
With the aid of a cane he is now walking slow
The years on us all does eventually show
In his prime the best footballer for many kilometers around
Three times on Grand Final Day voted the best player on the ground
With a mighty leap and quick on his feet
Nowadays with his cane he shuffles down the street
He was quite a man going back half of a century
And he is just a mere shadow of what he used to be
Fading memories of the past with him does remain
And often in fancy he is playing football again
Fifty years ago he was in his physical prime
Old Joe he has become a victim of time.
