Calendars mark years as always,
Using twenty-four hours per date.
But intervals of passing time
Simply do not correlate.

Oh, this may sound far-fetched, absurd,
But I have proof of what I say:
According to the calendar,
I'm sixty-four years old today.

Well, There's the proof: The date's
All wrong. My argument is done.
Six months ago the calendar
Told me I was sixty-one.
