Everyone ages. Why not laugh about the problems of growing old?
When old age crept upon me,
it marred my perfect skin.
Every organ went to pot,
notify my next-of-kin.
Daily memories fade away.
Where's the odor; what's that smell?
Growing old is a folly--
bloated tissues turn to get.
My legs ache, my knees won't bend,
double chins, wrinkles galore.
Living like this, I need 'Depends'.
My fanny drags on the floor,
eyes and ears are in a haze.
My back is out, kidneys spent.
False teeth are on the nightstand.
Oops!
Wonder where the yellow went . . .
cute write Sandy,
Excellent,
don't forget the constant pain in the joints the all of a sudden unableness to balance, a short trip or slip can be fatal to some, with brittle bones, and dont forget "I've fallen and can't get up....some age more gracefully then others....

unfortunately, we're ALL headed in that direction; we can't avoid it (although we'd LOVE to!). good write about the "pains" of getting old! love, your friend in texas, karen lynn. (((HUGS))) :)
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.
A naïve councilman and a down-on-her-luck single mom try to save their county’s last stand of forest from greedy developers and a dysfunctional government.
