Very nice phone humorous in your poor ears get stung like that. Oh man I bet the sun burns them too eh? Yes I understand the funny games of getting old however my ears are a little bit closer to my head l o l.
Your poem is very clever rhymes well and close well subject matter is really cute appreciated.
I find no issue with your spelling or Is sentence structure or punctuation. All looks good to me. I find this to be a sweet and interesting and very real poem. Thank you so much I look forward to your next submission!

    Thanks so much, Lea. It's funny how much your ears begin to grow as you get older. That isn't me in the picture, but I'm definitely headed that way!

The chorus works very well here and certainly adds to the overall comic effect! I like the irony too! When older people say they're not complaining- they usually go on to list their ailments in detail!

    Thanks so much, Sarah.

    My wife and I often kid about this. When I ask her how she's feeling today, she'll often answer how her earlobes feel fine--that is until recently when she started having trouble with one of them when the hole for wearing earrings started closing up on her!

I love this image which inspires this clever write and your poem had me in stitches Jim. What a delightful write.

I love these two lines, clever end rhymes and humour:

There won't be a mention of fibromyalgia.
I'll think of my youth then with quiet nostalgia,

You made me smile and I just love your imaginative rhymes, perfect flow and continuous humour, it has to be a six from me, love Dolly x

This is an excellent post Jim, I love the earlobes. You're a very skilled poet my friend, the flow and the language are very well expressed, this is hilarious, and Aldo works well with the great theme, well done, blessings Roy
Typo : My earlobes are grand, you've changed the tense.
