Old age doesn't come alone
Jane walked up to a man sat on a bench reading a book.
"I couldn't help noticing how contented you look.
What's your secret for a long happy life?"
You obviously draw your old age pension avoiding financial strife."
"I smoke like a chimney all through the day,
I drink two bottles of whisky,yes I'm okay.
I catch a bus to the city centre and beg with a Costa cup,
Acccompanied by my companion a cute little pup."
"That's amazing,"said Jane "Your obviously having fun,
How old are you now?"Next week I'll be thirty one."
