On his last birthday Joe turned ninety three
Old enough to be my dad and much healthier and fitter than me
The hair on his balding head may be silver gray
But he jogs five or six kilometres every day
Twelve years ago his wife Linda passed away
He is twenty times a great grand-dad quite a lot of descendants as one might say
He began jogging seventy years ago before his physical prime
And this is going back many Seasons in time
One who has never taken part in a competitive race
He says i just like to jog along at my own pace
He does not smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol and is a vegetarian by choice
For clean and healthy living he is one who is a voice
Quite a likeable fellow of him one can say
He turned ninety three on his last birthday.
