How Curious

When I was born I was so old
Was almost ninety seven
And as the years progressed along
I was getting so much younger

In mid of life I was forty five
Was an age most think wisely
Another thirty found me young
In midst of teens I’m sitting

So much I’ve learned over the years
Too bad I’m getting younger
Now my life’s end I near
Can’t talk I’m just a baby

Where to from here, I’ve no idea
Could be I disappear, forever

sounds more like the movie Benjamin button with brad pitt and cate blanchett.

also the movie was based on the book the curious case of benjamin button, written in 1922 ...just a tid bit of trivia.
