Hello there Poet friend. It seems I have read this before. I really enjoyed this very fun read. It would be even better if it were not true. I wish you the best. LOyd

Thank you Loyd for that great review and all those shiny stars. I posted that one 4 or 5 months ago. Getting old is not going to be fun for some of us, but for others, they won't even notice it. Thanks again my friend and you have some beautiful artwork, I use it whenever I can. Hope you're feeling better. Thanks again and take care. Cedar/Bill

You sure have some funny lines here
in your funny but not funny poem.
Surely I can relate to many of your words.
That next to last stanza will crack my
wife with laughter. So much easier to
say goodnight dear.

Thanks my friend. A good laugh is healthy for you. Have a great
evening.

Your quatrains have a good steady cadence, strong abcb rhyming and the examples you provide of the effects of aging are extremely funny - what a thought, of getting tired out from checkers, of being unable to make the rocker move, forgetting what to do with one's own wife in bed. LOL Many people of a certain age will get lots of laughs from this :-) Brooke

Thank you Brooke. It's easy to write about things that you
experience on a daily basis. Take care and have a great day.

Thanks for your review. And please don't worry about growing old. Enjoy your youth. Some of us age gracefully and some of us don't. That's just the way it is. Thanks again and have a great Sunday.

I shouldn't laugh because it all is definitely true but I really liked this poem. You described old age perfectly my friend and you did it in very good poetic form. Great write my poet friend!

Thanks my friend. When I first started reading your review, I
stopped to double check the name, I thought that my wife had written it. Have a great weekend. One other thing, you should have added a little more to this stanza and entered the contest.
You definitely would have gotten my vote.

This poem tells it all. While all the things you mention may not come at one time, little nuggets of youth are eaten away and one day you know you are not getting old...you are there. I agree it's no fun, but having a youthful outlook helps a bit, at least in your heart.
Well written.

Well said Joan and I agree. Some of us breeze right through it
and some struggle everyday. Have a great weekend.
