This post was inspired by my good friends Guy and Janice who have for years regaled their grand kids with hilarious tales of fantastic adventures of their early lives–none of them true.
“Back in the Day”
Back in the day
Before I was old
I used to go prospecting
For silver and gold.
Back in the day
When I still had my looks
I often went dancing
With gamblers and crooks.
I joined the circus
And flew the trapeze
Climbed tall buildings
With the greatest of ease.
Back in the day
When I was still fit
I ran a marathon
And never once quit.
I scaled the Matterhorn
And swam down the Nile
Jogged up the pyramids;
That took awhile.
On African safaris
I traveled each week
Even tamed an ostrich
With a 30 foot beak!
You see, back in the day
I could almost do it all
But then just maybe
This tale is too tall.
