   Now that I am old my slippers are black. I walk to the corner and puff my way back. The reason I know my youth is spent. My get-up-and-go got up and went. I get up each morning dust off my wits. Pick up the paper and read the "orbits". If my name is missing, I know I'm not dead.

   My get-up-and-go has got up and went! But, in spite of it all, I’m able to grin And think of the places my getup has been! I get up each morning and dust off my wits, Open the paper, and read the Obits. If I’m not there, I know I’m not dead, So I eat a good breakfast and go back to bed! How do I know my youth is all spent?

   Mar 9, 2016 · My get-up-and-go has got up and went! But, in spite of it all, I’m able to grin And think of the places my getup has been! When I was young, my slippers were red; I could kick up my heels right over my head. When I was older my slippers were blue, But still I could dance the whole night through. Now I am older, my slippers are black.

   I decided that "My Get Up and Go Has Got Up and Went" would be a good poem to deconstruct, to figure out why this simple poem has endured among the masses, even touching folk singer Pete Seeger enough to write a melody for it.

   • Get up and bar the door.” This tale occurs in many versions but almost all (like this one) involve some Scots dialect words.
