Another year.

What's that dear?
You gonna gripe
Eh, you're the type.

What does that mean?
Don't start a scene.

You moan each year
About your fears
Of getting old
You sit and mold.

You do the same
On age you blame
Arthritic hurts
You wear loose shirts

But I don't whine
Into my wine
Like you do nights
You're quite a sight
You just won't do
Just stop and quit

You won't let me make love
Because it bends when pushed

That didn't rhyme,
Well that's no crime

This so funny. I can in-vision a sit-com from the old TV days. "one of these days, Alice, POW! Straight to the moon!

Enjoyed, my friend.
Thanks for the smile...

Ah a poem on the creeping journey on the last lap. Way to go for me and the wife still has her James Bond license to thrill. Don’t you get morbid now, remember your beliefs. One story ends but another is waiting to begin, think about all those hearts you’ll break next time around and maybe just maybe I’ll be applauding in the stands when you raise the Claret Jug.

Happy you got a chuckle or two from my poem. I meant for it to be humorous. Thanks again.

Ah, the years creep upon us for sure, Cari. Good to know your soulmate still has her "James Bond license to thrill." That's cool. Thank you for dropping by.

Hey, we'll all get there, graciously or not, it creeps and haunts our dreams {and bring us gifts of arthritic fingers and toes..}

"You won't let me make love because it bends when pushed"! Oh my! Billy after a six pack! OMG! I'll be laffing out loud for a long time Jerrypat!

If I were more than I am, I'd see things differently instead of the same all the time.
