Mummy Am I Old Yet

Mummy am I old yet?
I'm only thirty one.
It seems the younger people think
my old age has begun

My legs and arms are working fine
(my hair is getting thin)
but how can those effects affect
when I am young within.

I feel the same as I felt then
when I was still at school,
so how can I be old mummy?
How can I be old?
