Comment from Esther Brown
Oh that was a six for sure on my scale! You manage to make me laugh at age creeping up. Those glory days, when we young. Yet, I still feel young inside and am surprised when my old face looks back at me from the mirror. I have to ask, I am curious about you. Did you read the dictionary for fun? Have an IQ off the charts? Your poor (perfect) wife. Seriously, happily married old woman here but love your writing and vocabulary, especially the twisted up thoughts. Esther

IQ - 129. Not Elon Musk smart but smarter than Yogi Bear. Vocabulary grows with each penning as Mr Roget is always near at hand. I also play Words with Friends a lot. I am glad you enjoyed it and welcome you anytime to drop back by. Tom H

I like scrabble and words with friends. Our brains atrophy if we don't use them. I am an FNP, now 71 and sort-of retired. Married to a red neck logging hunting outdoors man with a Harley. He is 10 years younger but has worn out his joints. What was your profession?
-
Personal FInance/INsurance. My junior bride is 10 years younger. She ws 19 in college when we met. I was a BMOC playing four sports.
What's a FNP? Family Nurse Practioner?
Be well and stay in touch, please

Yep, nurse practitioner. Started in surgery and loved it, but got promoted to management. Peter's principle. Went back to school at 48 and have been an FNP since 2002. Just this year started writing on this site, and am finding I love it.

It is better to be active than idle be it physically or mentally

Okay, so as an 'older' woman, I am grinning from ear to ear over here... I do not know if you had meant it to be 'humorous' (that's really not why I'm smiling), but you certainly entertained the reader into reflecting on oneself! ;) :) Thanx for sharing and best of luck! ;)

Older women appeal to me, as do younger gals as well, but no less than 40ish. I couldn't keep up if they were younger.
I appreciate your visit and hope you foound this piece and others interesting. Tom H
Comment from bob cullen
Fellow competitor, a great write. I'm not given ti praising my rivals, but this was really cleverly written. It would appear we both have the same twisted an' warped sense of humor. Hope we quinella the contest. I'm sure though, we'll both finish in the top five.

Good entry for the contest. I like the way you structured the poem with the petition of you are? then listing a series of events and attributes of your life illustrating who you are.

Comment from ESOSTINE
'I have changed with each passing decade' spoke audibly into my ears. And the last verse plastered smile on my face. Beautifully penned. Thanks for sharing your creative work. Good luck in the contest.

I am glad you enjoyed my attempt at the YOU ARE challenge, and welcome to Mr. T's neighborhood. I can't say who I am as the contest is blind but hope you find me elsewhere to further enjoy a demented mind like mine. Now to look and see what you have penned.
Comment from Dolly'sPoems
After a long and fruitful marriage I think we see different attributes in our spouses. Age can be unkind to our appearance as everything goes south! You made me smile here Tom with your analysis, love Dolly x x x

But you do know it was me speaking with a younger mind-apparent me and not my bride. She is holding up well in statue. Thanks for the read and comment.
Comment from Wendy G
As it's a blind contest, you probably shouldn't put your photo in it - but I would have known it was you any way. For the French bit, change it to "C'est la vie". Lol. Best wishes for your entry.

Oops. I missed the blind note. Guess I didn't "see" it. :-O. In addition, thanks for the French lesson.
Comment from Sarah Probe S.
very poignant poem about an ex lover, or an other half You've had an argument with ? i can feel your grief and loss through your words of sadness, and sensed a little bit of remorse, within the message behind Your verses ?
well done,
all the best,
Sarah

Nah. My senior was talking with its Junior metaphorically and was remembering an earlier version of itself. No sadness, really; just facts. Thanks for the visit and comment.
Comment from Marilyn Hamilton
Aging is hard enough on its own. Don't be so hard on yourself for doing what your body does naturally. As long as we keep growing to be better people inside, we should be content with that. good poem.

As stated in the ending verse... C'est la vie, or in American "That's life." Hope has me believing when it ends there will be another. Thanks.
Comment from Rachelle Allen
You definitely brought your A-game to this challenge, Mystery Contestant! It's funny - as the prompt requires - but also dear and honest and wise and a little plucky, too, when lightly admonishing the youngster who boldly referred to your present "maturity." Good luck in the "Oh You Are, Are You?" contest.
