People My Age

Spam is pig caviar compared to scrapple. Souse is the pig face gelatinous goulash that southerners eat and it ain't bad if it's made right and contains red pepper flakes. Spam is caviar compared to souse, too. But I digress .... In the never ending search for truth, I have another exhibit for the archives. Mr. John Gorka apparently frequents my local haunts ....



People my age
Have started looking gross
I cannot say all
And I shouldn't say most
I've seen 'em in the grocery
I've seen 'em up close
And People my age
Have started looking gross

People my age
Are showing some wear
There's holes where their teeth was
And their heads have gone bare
Their brains are shrinking
Faces sinking into fat
And as for the mirror
We won't be looking into that

People my age
Have started looking gross
Maybe not in Colorado
Or up the Silicon Coast
Back in Pennsylvania
I'd eat scrapple on toast
Those were my first steps
On the road to looking gross

People my age
Are looking overripe
Some are getting operations
To tighten up what ain't tight
What gravity's ruined
They try to fix with a knife
What's pleasant in the darkness
Is plain scary in the light

Gross
