Were Those the Days

I once was young
and wicked smart
My feats were sung
My looks were art
But now I’m old
and not so bold
And full of bull

I cannot count the number of times I’ve heard the equivalent of the first four lines, but they’re rarely so quick or slow forthright about the last three lines.

  Thanks, BF! I usually find the last three lines, especially the last line, are more true than the first four. 😁
