I’ve always wanted to be
“That Crazy Old Man,”
and now here I am,
“That Crazy Old Man.”
But why do I want to be
“That Crazy Old Man?”
I could have wished,
like most people,
to appear youthful forever,
but somehow
those people don’t seem
so very youthful now.
They seem
much more
worn out,
tired,
frustrated,
much more
beaten down
than
“That Crazy Old Man.”
And here’s the secret.
To be
“That Crazy Old Man”
you have to hang on
not to the
APPEARANCE of youth,
but to that precocious kid
you’ve always been.
You have to BELIEVE
like a child believes.
In becoming adults,
most people sadly let that go.
They gyp themselves.
Now where are my diapers?
