Ring any bells ?

When your boobs begin descending
When your bottoms getting bigger
When you put on extra weight
And you’ve lost your girlish figure
When you find a friend in chocolate
When you’d rather read a book
When you take off all your clothes
And nobody wants to look
When you get a water bottle
When your feet are always cold
When the night sweats come to haunt you
It’s a sign you’re getting old

A hilarious account on aging. I agree with ChinaBlue, this has the potential to go on forever. Unfortunately, you don't have to be old for a lot of these things to take place.
