I deleted a couple of reviews from people who took this "poem" way too seriously. After all, it is categorized as "humour", and we English are known for saying things with our tongues firmly tucked into our cheeks!
Old Age Sucks!
Aching bones, Moans and groans. No longer sprightly Means three pees nightly. And being in the mood To do things rude Happens only twice (With luck, maybe thrice) A month, that is, ’cause now all the fizz Has gone with the years, Replaced by the fears Of what lies ahead . . . what it’s like to be dead. For when all’s said and done And life’s race nearly run Wecome to the crux . . . , . . . old age really sucks!
WHAT ??!!! Speak up!!! I can't HEAR you?! :) ROFL ... Thanks! - Jeff

Comical write, enjoyed
Homer's Ill Iliad & Odd Sea Odyssey (420 pages) is an adult satire/parody rewrite of the classic stories of the 10 year Trojan War and of the 10 year adventure of Odysseus trying to return home to his native Ithaca.
