Getting Older

Artangel started a thread the other day about feeling thick or something, like how forgetful we can be as we get older. Just looking through my poetry file on my computer and I found this I wrote a while back and I thought it appropriate, hope it gives you a chuckle

Getting Older

As I’m getting older
Here is what I’ve noticed
My memory’s done a bunk
And I’m going round the twist

I’ll walk into the kitchen
Then I’ll just stand and stare
As I think I scratch my head
Trying to remember why I’m there

Unwanted hair keeps sprouting
I’ve got a beard and a tash
I don’t want to shave
Or I’ll come out in a rash

As I sit and pluck me chin
I’ll shout ‘COME OUT YA SWINE’
They are such stubborn buggers
These witchy hairs of mine

As I get up from my chair
To answer my telephone
My legs have seized up again
I let out a howling moan

Ooo I need to pee
I better go right away
If I don’t hurry up
My pee will go astray

Looking in the mirror
Another crease has appeared
Oh no, the crinkly skin is here
Just as I’ve always feared

All these things that happen
The heavy and hard load
We have no choice but deal with it
It’s part of our lifes road

Well done, that poem certainly put a smile on my face!

Re: Getting Older

Lion Queen that is good.
Can I ask very politely, if you could also post it on the poetry please thread in other activities.

Re: Getting Older

Glad to hear it Twinky, to bring a smile to someones face with my poetry makes me feel good, thank you for your comment xx

Re: Getting Older

ooops perhaps I shouldn'#t have posted it here, can you move it Sweets? x

Re: Getting Older

That is very good! Lion Queen
OldFool better watch out, he’s got competition!!

Re: Getting Older

It is fine here LQ, it is just nice to also have it on the poetry thread, as many including me often look back.
I will copy and paste it for you.

Re: Getting Older

cheers Sweets and Art, thanks for the compliment, I reckon there's room for 2 old fools haha

Re: Getting Older

Sweetie, perhaps Azz should make you one of those little forum helpers and then you'll get to shuffle all our posts around to the right places.
Just tell us all beforehand.
