I really like your topic, as I can relate to it n many ways but your metre is off so it doesn't flow along as well as it should.

Comment from richard7
When it's time to be romantic
I haven't got the first clue
So I sit on the bed staring at my wife
hoping she will remember what to do
That is very humourous and the next verse go great in hand.
A very humourous look at aging and the funny aspects involved, you brought across well and in good taste.
It has a certain black humour to it, and certainly is food for thought best eaten with teeth in!
Well done.

Thank you Richard, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Getting old is
just part of the process. Thanks

Clearly this isn't completely autobiographical--or you wouldn't have the energy to execute the poem and post it! Nice job.

Oh, how I can relate. Getting old is a b...h if you know what I mean but I don't like the other alternative. Made me laugh. Great read.

A great entry to this contest, I do recognise some of the symptoms, though from a slightly different perspective...the only thing that does not seem to change is my ability to enjoy the humour in life...

You have great artwork and your arthor notes are superb-you have good rhythm and rhyme all through your poem and you are descriptive-you write about all the things that you encounter when aging--superb job and Best Wishes in the contest.

Comment from Connie C
This is so funny, and oh how I relate to so much of this. I think
you have a strong contender in the competition with this poem.
The rhyme is good, and this is one to which many can relate.
Best of luck to you. Connie

Everything hurts and if it don't hurt
It just don't work anymore - awww so sad! That's the bad side of getting old, but there are plenty of perks too! Like seeing your little ones grow up and have children of their own.
So I sit on the bed stareing at my wife
hopeing she will remember what to do- "staring" and "hoping" haha- very funny!

Glad you got a laugh or two and thanks for the spelling lesson.
See, that's another thing that happens when you get old. Thanks
Comment from volunteer angel
I love this! It fits my hubby and me to a "T". He's 78 and I'm 77. Boy, if only we could do the things we used to do. We both get winded if we walk to the mailbox. LOL
That "rocking chair" is what entices us now. Great contest poem. I wish you luck! V.A.

Getting old might very well be a bummer, but I think it beats the alternative! Your piece made me chuckle. Of course, I'm not old yet, just 61! Regards, Bill
