How nice it is to be able to say:
“When I was younger and more foolish,
Yesterday . . .”
Then in my own conceited way,
I think perhaps I should really say:
“When I was younger and less wise,
Yesterday . . .”

But what’s the point at all I ask,
If tomorrow I can’t wake up and say:
“When I was younger and knew less,
Yesterday, . . .”
And if I can say that,
Today will have not gone by
In vain.
