I agree with this writing prompt. Getting old is no funa and I refuse to do it. Who cares that I have grandchildren old enough to make be a great-grandma? I don't want even want to consider that. LOL I enjoyed reading. It was fun.
My grandbabes always tell me that I act just like a kid (grandbabies)

Awe, thanks Barb. I kinda have grandkids old enough, but two of them are just going on 19. You have all sons, but have granddaughters now. Right? I have always loved hearing your fun comments about raising three or four boys? I thank you for the lovely review of the poem and appreciate your kind comments. Thanks again my friend!

My older grandkids are boys. Calin 24 and Geoffrey 23, so they're old enough. The next is a granddaughter, 18, she'd better wait. LOL
Comment from dellsworthpoet
Well put. I have also abdicated from growing up--it is a con.
The piece is well-paced. The images are clear. The narrative stays on point. The language is simple with a touch of humor.
Thanks for a good read.

Comment from royowen
Don't worry, I tend to avoid entertainment about disasters, crooks, murder, etc. I would much rather watch slap stick comedy, sci fi, and well ending stories, with sloppy sentiment, I've always thought entertainment and reading should release one from this awful world, I can't believe I'm getting old, I'm an escapist by nature, but a lover by choice. I like to think from both sides, to be unbiased, that's my goal at least, beautifully written Deb, blessings Roy

Oh Roy, you are the best! That is the way I handle serious things, by finding humor and you my friend have the youngest soul of anyone I know. Thank you so very much for the best review ever and as I hear from you it is so enjoyable to see the different sides of that soul. You are awesome and I enjoyed your comments and so very honored by your six stars.
Thank you again and God Bless!!

I don?t think I?m awesome, but I do try to be the best I can be, but you and I are in cinque I think, (there you go, I might be a poet one day!)

'Lol!
Comment from Sally Law
I resemble this fun poem, sometimes. I think we all do as we age. My secret is learning to take one day at a time. Today is the only day I have in hand. Writing is an amazing way to rid myself of fears and trepidation and fills my life with joy and purpose. Sending you my best today, since it's the only day we have, and my best for the contest,

Thanks so much Sally for your review and lovely comments regarding my poem. I feel the same way you do, but was in the mood to have a little fun with it. So thank you as we are not old, we are queenagers!
Comment from Fleedleflump
They say you're only as old as the woman you feel, which is obviously a little misogynistic but I'm sure it can be adapted! I say we're as old as we allow ourselves to be (until the knee starts playing up, but the knee can sod off!).
Impeccably written :-)

LOL, Hey wait a minute Mike, I go in for a knee replacement and leg construction surgery on Thursday. Hahaha! Thanks for your your fun review my friend!
-
It always seems to be the knees doesn't it! My Mum had one replaced a few years ago, and mine play up but I can blame burgers and Haagen Daas for that :-).
I hope your surgery goes well.

Thanks again Mike for the fun review and the laugh that will surely get me through the weekend. I appreciate your kind thoughts and will be having the next leg and knee done in September and praying that after that in a few months I will be able to walk again. They are very hopeful and so am I. (I have Lupus and kidney disease and slowly crippled me confined me to the wheelchair. Not telling you this for sympathy, but just to explain what is happening)
I have a wonderful outlook and I owe so much of that to my awesome friends like you here on FS. Thanks again Mike
