Betty White
Time races past at the speed of light
It can't be avoided or prolonged'All will reach the top of the hill and fall down
On the way to the bottom
You become debilitated and senile
Your geriatric behavior becomes evermore prevalent constantly
The living fossil you have become
Seems to have no purpose in a racing world
moving at a slow crawl
Though your prime has come and gone
You become a beacon of wisdom
As the grizzled teacher of those who look up to you
