Comment from G. Eleck
In two months I am to celebrate my 30th birthday. Although you may think that sounds young it send fear in me that rocks my very core... I was asked the other day what my plans were for that day I said that I plan on locking my door and pretending that I'm not home hehehe... Only kidding. I have a grandmother and she is 98 and says the same things as you are saying in your poem... Well done and thanks for the great read...
Thanks G :)

Thank you G for your time and review. Don't worry about growing old, just enjoy your youth and have fun. You're only 29, I have socks that's older than that. Ha Ha. Have a great weekend.

I enjoyed your humorous look at getting old - much of it very true. However, we also have a lot of wisdom, don't we - only who wants to listen. The rhyming was good. Looking at the photo, there are still some good aspects to getting older. Thank you.

Thank you for your review and yes I've always heard that the older you get, the smarter you get. That's not true in my case.
Have a great weekend.

This is a wonderful piece of work Cedar. My eyes had to adjust to the neon green but I stayed with it and admired this one. A lot of humor in it and great flow and meter throughout.
Cheers

Thanks for your review Patricia. I'm glad it made you laugh. But please don't worry about growing old. Some of my friends
are in their 70's and 80's and still doing what they did when they were young. Have a great weekend.

Thanks my friend. It's easy to write about some things that
you actually experience. Have a great week-end.

I got a big bang out of your poem. I can certainly relate to a lot of it. I haven't seen anything golden about the golden years yet. LOL Kat

Thanks Kat and I agree, there sure isn't any gold around here.
I ache 24/7 and it gets worse the older I get. Thanks Kat and have a great week-end.

I'm with you on the aching part. I too, ache 24/7. It's been such a long time I wonder what it would feel like with no pain? Kat

Very nicely done!
Each of the stanzas flow to the next perfectly and all come together to tell - a funny but not so funny - story.
Great job at this contest and best of luck!

Thanks Jess, I'm glad you liked it. However, old age catches up with us all "sooner" or later. Thanks and have a great week-end.
Comment from JSway
I really liked this work. Getting old is a part of life, and we have to take it in stride. You share your reflections about what it means to age, and how it's just the sunset years of life. Yes, it comes for us all.

Thanks for your review and yes it does come for us all, it catches us all and then beats most of us up. Just like being in the ring with Muhammed Ali!!! Have a great week-end.

*LOL* You're welcome. You have a great weekend too.
Comment from owarfield
Liked it a lot and have to admit I can identify with some of it. The poem went perfectly with the theme. It was funny but we all know getting old can be a very sad thing. Sounds like the writer is taking it in stride though. Keep up the good work.
