Exaggerated slightly..LOL
The after another birthday and then Holiday blues..  


Standing here with thinning hair,
And my eyes need glasses now to see.
I do my best and strain to hear,
Everything you say to me.

And all these wrinkles, I’ve tried to hide,
Showing so easily in morning light.
As I push myself to move about,
My old body leaning toward the right.

Gosh, I am getting old,
A youthful body I now lack.
Can someone help me just a bit,
And tell me how do I get it back?

Sagging and hanging,
With lumps here and there.
White as cotton and no tan lines,
Wearing my fuller figure underwear

Getting old surely ain't so great,
When did all these changes happen to me?
I remember wearing miniskirts, short and tight
And that itsy bitsy string bikini

For now when I put on my bikini
I just kinda hang there over the side.
It looks like I’ve got two other people,
Tagging along just for the ride.

I try so hard to get them off,
And push and tuck here and there.
Yet these sagging unsightly protrusions,
Seem to fall all over where ever they dare.


Upon the beach I used to strut my stuff,
Looking so sexy,young, slim and tall
But now with this old sagging bod of mine,
I realize with age,I’ve just lost it all.

Can’t anyone tell me,
Just how to get it all back?
That sexy look that I used to have,
Is the look that now I seem to lack.

My boobs have lost their firmness,
As they hang down to my waist.
Sagging with my colorless skin,
Looking like a turkey ready to baste.

And these tired old legs
Can barely now move
Limping and shuffling slowly about
Seems to me that I’ve lost my groove

I may be getting older,
But damn, your getting older too.
And I bet I know without any guess,
The same thing’s happening to you

Searching for the fountain of youth
Don’t you know the way to get there?
We can become young and sexy once more
And not share the secret , I swear!



Poetry is:
Passion, imagination and intellect running together.

Aloha with warmest regards, Cheryl Stewart Koomoa

LOL  Liked this very much, I laughed so hard I almost fell over, of course I'm glad I didn't or I might have had to call the medics to get me back up!  If I ever find that fountain, I'm gonna start a bottling company, watch the money roll in.

work that body, girl, really gotta pump iron,
kick ass at the gym,
drink l0 glases of water a day, cut the meat,go blonde, get a younger boyfriend,
think young, dont ever give in to that age crap, dont look in mirrors too much, look your best at your age, so youre not 25, is every 25 year old woman slick?
i rather be 48 and look like me, than how i used to look at 23
