My Younger Days
\nby Maya Angelou\n

When I was in my younger days,
\nI weighed a few pounds less,
\nI needn’t hold my tummy in
\nto wear a belted dress.\n

But now that I am older,
\nI’ve set my body free;
\nThere’s the comfort of elastic
\nWhere once my waist would be.\n

Inventor of those high-heeled shoes
\nMy feet have not forgiven;
\nI have to wear a nine now,
\nBut used to wear a seven.\n

And how about those pantyhose-
\nThey’re sized by weight, you see,
\nSo how come when I put them on
\nThe crotch is at my knee?\n

I need to wear these glasses
\nAs the print’s been getting smaller;
\nAnd it wasn’t very long ago
\nI know that I was taller.\n

Though my hair has turned to gray
\nand my skin no longer fits,
\nOn the inside, I’m the same old me,
\nIt’s the outside’s changed a bit.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
