When I'm Sixty-four (In honor of N6TJ)

When I get older, losing my ears,
Many years from now
Will you still be sending me your 599,
Multipliers, Zone 29?

If I'd missed a sked at quarter to three,
Would you go at four?
Will you still work me,
will you still spot me,
When I'm sixty-four?

You'll be older too...
And if you know the code, I'll multiop with you.

I could be handy mending a beam
When the rotor sticks.
You can use the rhombic on the other bands
CQ Worldwide, Zone 36.
Working the low bands, long path and short,

Who could ask for more?
Will you still work me,
will you still spot me
When I'm sixty-four?

Every autumn we could rent a station on Ascension Isle
If it's not too dear.
We shall run all day.
TechPluses on 10 phone,
Billy-Bob, and Ray.

Send a QSL card, post an email
Stating point of view
Remember I've been contesting since 1902,
And I'm two feet taller than you.

Give me an answer, Cabrillo form,
S-nine forevermore
Will you still work me,
will you still spot me,
When I'm sixty-four?
