My granddaughter called me last night
To wish me a happy birthday.
A call from my young granddaughter
Pleases me more than I can say.

She asked me just how old I was;
I told her I turned sixty five.
She said that’s a real big number;
“Are you the oldest man alive?”

I told her that was not so old,
After all is said and done.
She was quiet and then she asked me,
“Grandpa, did you start out at one?”
