Female Aging

by Bucketlist

 


Ladies, you can commiserate
Effects you hate
Aging is tough
You’ve see enough

Your youthful look now has faded
You look jaded
Wrinkles abound
Waist's bigger 'round

Your store list has Depends 'n Tums
Have doldrums
Energy slump
Botox to plump

Your memory harbors passions
Now on ration
Laugh when you speak
You'll start to leak
 
You used positions with your mate
Now can't relate
Stiffness is in
You, but not him

The worst thing is the outside view
For me and you
It all heads south
False teeth in mouth

But be grateful and full of glee
God's gift you see
Enjoy each day
The carefree way
