Oh, dear me! I couldn't help but chuckle from beginning to end...especially your humor with the pupils will di-late. Your poem made me think of Johnny Cash as he sang his song about one piece at a time. Of course, he was talking about cars, but so much of our bodies get replaced with metal that we can set off the alarms.
Smiles, Carol

Ah -ha - so well structured here this poem of 'Your Body.' Great title and subtitle and some wonderful linguistic gymnastics, if I may use that term- wish I had a 6 left. Has my vote,

" The pupils will be last to go, cause they will both di-late "
THAT line alone is deserving of six shiny (and chuckling) stars...but it's Thursday and...
This is very funny, and I love your innuendo.
Also clever? Rhyming "clear" with "mirror"-- it's so close it works and lends another layer of humor!
I predict great things for this entry!

Super fun poem!
Comment from Dolly'sPoems
Old age is a trial and we battle with failing parts inside us as we grow old. Keeping in good shape takes lots of effort, daily exercise and a good diet can improve our health even as we age.
I loved the humour in your poem and you made me smile as I was reading this as I can identify with all your words here, a fun post, great rhymes and I wish you luck with the contest, a fun read, love Dolly x

Comment from Patrick Bernardy
Hello!
The disintergration of your narrator's body is terrifying, but there seems to be lots of spirit still left!
There were a couple things I wanted to mention that you can fix if you agree.
---"he's never heard me......" Ellipses are only three periods ("..."). Having more than that is done often enough, but it is considered informal.
---"and most [of] my joints have been replaced" --I want to read a preposition in there. Up to you, though!
Good luck in the contest!

You will find there are so many here that don't believe in the ellipses rules, but you will maybe see that as time goes by, or you will get us all to follow them. LOL.
Also I am so serious about my meter and syllable count that I would rather risk the grammar and miss a preposition than screw that up. So I will just find another way to say it.
Thanks for the awesome review and I appreciate the awesome feedback as well as the kind comments.

Haha! Yeah, you nailed it. The fact that more people extend the ellipses than don't (as you said) was what I was trying to imply. But I wouldn't be a good grammarian if I didn't mention it, for whatever it's worth. Yeah, fulfilling all variables in some poetry forms is extremely difficult. Good luck if you choose to find a reword!

I enjoyed reading your poem. Sounds like my body. I'm falling apart. I like how you described parts of yout body. The picture is a good choice for your poem. Great writing.

Hmm, well, I applaud the effort and the work you put into creating a funny filled poem that many on the site will find relatable.
The rhyming couplet scheme is solid, and I think will do well in the contest.
