I've ben thinkin' back, of late, / S'prisin'! -- And I'm here to state / I'm suspicious it's a sign / Of _age_, maybe, or decline / Of my faculties, -- and yit / I'm not _feelin'_ old a bit -- / Any more than sixty-four / Ain't no _young_ man any more!

Thinkin' back's a thing 'at grows / On a feller, I suppose -- / Older 'at he gits, i jack, / More he keeps a-thinkin' back!
