I'm middle aged
stuck in a cage
filled with a rage
looking for sage

wisdom from frank
Who should I thank
overdrawn at the bank
I'm just a yank

misplaced in the south
dry in the mouth

Mirror is shattered
not that it mattered

I'm listless at times
filled up with rhymes
paying for crimes
dozens of times

I would quit, but
I'm stuck in a rut
Verse in the gut
I'm also a nut.

yes, you're a nut, cuz if you think your middle-aged, by your picture you only plan to live till you're 50

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Vas, Don't tell anyone, but I am 46. That pic is about 6 mos. old. Good genes I guess. Thanks so much for the compliment. I don't know if I'll be able to carry my head around all day now, it's too big from your kind words

Sy, Glad you enjoyed.

Yup, about two tacos short of a combination plate

46, 33,  22 hike!

You youngsters are making me feel very very
old this evening.....but that is OK,  cause
I have already gotten through those ragged
30's and 40's......YES, I AM MIDDLE AGED,
if I plan on living to 108!  Figure the
odds....

Yes Annie,  I do believe you might be just
a wee bit tetched in the haid!....LOL

Linda, I don't think it was the roses I stopped and smelled, they just wrinkled my nose. Must be in the genes is all I can say.

Interloper, hmmmmmmmm, just two tacos?

Dixie, Silly is good. Except it gives me laugh lines so I'm just laughing on the inside. You are in the prime of your life. Enjoy your 30's, I know I did.

Barry, You are young at heart. It's all that romance writing I think. It looks good on ya!
