I love the picture. I love the poem. I am glad you are just middle-aged. I was blaming it on old-age. It doesn't matter. I did it when I was younger. But I have an excuse now and I am sticking to it. Great work.

This poetry is fun, but it does hit close to home. The
signs of aging are beginning to be lighted in neon. Thank
You for your creation.

Hey, how old are you? If middle age is this then what hope is there for old age? I like your humour. I can identify with this very much and I'm 63 is it middle or old?
I go to a spot in the house and completely forget what I'm looking for then have retrace my steps, what a life...

You must be reading my mail. I can't remember when I've read a more true poem. And its humorous too. Well, what else could it be? If it was serious it would be crying time. My Dr. says getting old is not for the faint of heart. He's right. Excellent poem.

Cute poem, and a good entry for the prompt asking for a poem about yourself. The artwork is great, too, and complements your poem nicely.

You are stood (You stand) there bemused

you are stood there - that line doesn't read right to me
good alliteration in matter misty
good consonance of R sounds in wrack your brains
Excellent humor at the writer's own expense :-) Brooke

I do that all the time! I'm glad to know I'm not the only one. Love the part about the misty grey matter. The poor fellow in the picture doesn't seem too sure what he's looking for.
