Hang in there! If you take care, you'll be writing "old age stuff," when you actually get there! I mean, those Social Security folks won't pay you until you get OLD, man! AARP has lulled you into a false sense of antiquity. I'm posting one written on this subject, which tells the real story of, "Old." Like your build-up telling your story, and always enjoy how you lay those words out for us to gain a new outlook. - Bill

Ed,
As I'm approaching the big 60 I'm beginning to think that it's all in my mind. I just can't help it if I sit on it. (lol) At least it's well protected. The biggest help I find in keeping a young attitude is not to worry about tomorrow.

Hey hey old mate...
what's this blarney bout 50 bein' old...
why,50's just great...
not old,you deserve a good sharp scold
for claimin' such tripe,alright?

(You whippersnapper you!!!)
soooooooo...
yer pipes are a bit rusty
and yer bowels are all gusty,
and yer veins stick out bulging and blue.
But hey hey old mate,
yer still have that bait
to turn heads with the poems that you do,
yeh,yer young still ,at heart,
and yer still look the part,
and yu'll live ta a hundred and two.
Besides mate...I'm older than you,
and I'm friskier than
all you cheeky young men...
and I'll cry in my hankie...
and get really cranky
and I'm young enough mate still to do.

We're just better growed
more garnished and hoed
we're just richer vintage
like Poppie with spinache
so put yer dummy back in
and put on yer short duds
don't be like an old fud...
yer only as old as yer feel
and yer feel like yer still young,ta me.(so yer must be!)
Hey babe...I love yer poetry,a bit immature though...wink wink...that's a joke!

One thing I've learned from my Dad is you're never too old for butt problems.
