Excellent A bill of goods Golden Years by Karen Cherry Bio writing prompt entry

Golden years? Give me a break Mine are made of lead Was looking forward to the happy times I got served mediocre crap instead   No partner to share grand vacations with After many years of giving But I am all alone as you  can see I don't really call this living   As I pinch my meager pennies So hard you can hear them squeal I wonder who to complain to About this rotten deal   I feel misused and really quite upset There is no reward that I can see, Where do we go for recompense Show me "The Giving Tree."   I sit here moping all alone Emptiness fills my heart Just where are these golden years Tell me then, when do they start?   **********************                       Writing Prompt Write a poem of any type about your life, personality traits, and ambitions. Recognized Author Notes Picture from Pinterest. Poetry Inspired by Cecilia A Heiskary Things you may not understand:  Mediocre: pale, unexciting Meager: not having much "The Giving Tree": A book by Shel Silverstein About a young boy who goes to a tree to ask  And receive things.
