LONGEVITY
LONGEVITY
The familiar subject of longevity
should not be treated with levity
but either with a respectful gravity
or else, perhaps , nonchalant suavity.
Because just between me and you
there seems to be little we can do
to avoid our hair getting gray
a bit more and more each day.
Well I suppose that exercise is OK
if not carried to extremes anyway,
and whether or not you are a do-er
it seems much better not to be poor
plus you have a chance of becoming a centenarian
if you are at least something of a vegetarian.
Besides, according to Ezekiel Emanuel,"life's not much worth living past 75"
so why should we all then try so hard to stay alive?
However with him I certainly don't now agree
even though I very well may when I'm 103--
Still, I'd like to get there first -- and then see.

The word "longevity" is sometimes used as a synonym for "life expectancy" in demography - however, the term "longevity" is sometimes meant to refer only to especially long-lived members of a population, whereas "life expectancy" is always defined statistically as the average number of years remaining at a given age.
