Never too old

Having reached the last year of my forties, that is, having reached my fiftieth year, I'm beginning to not feel old.  One of the things that's helping me to do this is a song by Zoe Lewis, Never Too Old To Be Young.  It's also got subliminal messages that one should do more origami.

Ladies and gentlemen 

That's a good start.  Inclusive.

Listen to this message if you would

Okay.  I'm listening.

Life is so full or creases

First subliminal origami message

That's why I think wrinkles are very good

(I've produced a few wrinkles in paper when my origami doesn't turn out.)

Well it is most imperative to have a little joyfulness each day
So don't stop playing just cos you grow old
Or you'll grow old because you stop to play!

This, of course, is why I still do origami...

'Cause you're never, no you're never, no you're never,
no you're never too old to be young
When you're halfway through, you're just begun,
You're never too old to be young.

I've got students volunteering at an old-folks home who are going to teach octogenarians some simple folds...

When they tell you to act your age,
they're obviously lacking in expertise,
Can't they see it doesn't matter
Unless you're a bottle of wine or a piece of cheese
So when those twilight years smile down like diamonds on you
Please remember when you think you've done it all
You're going to always find something new.

Especially if you have people like Lang, Montroll, and others designing new things all the time.

'Cause you're never, no you're never,  no you're never
no you're never too old to be young
There's a million songs to be sung, 

And a similar number models to be folded...

You're never too old to be young.

Everybody, if you are wise
You can have whatever you visualize 

In fact, this is true: you can fold just about anything....

If you believe it, you really can
Be like Peter Pan.

'Cause you're never no you're never, no you're never, no you're never
No you're never too old to be young
From the age of three until a hundred and one

Well, I think that three is a little young for origami, but not by much

You're never too old to be young.

Well you're never, no you're never, no you're never
No you're never too old to be young
When you're half way through you've just begun

There are a bunch of origami models where this last line is really true!

You're never too old to be young.

Never, never, never, never, never, never,....

Yours, finding folding inspiration everywhere,
