Written from a personal experience.

 YOU’RE NEVER TOO OLD

 

The old man stared in disbelief,

Appalled by what he had done.

He said, “You’d think I’d know better than that,

Now I’m the dumbfounded one.”

 

The old man had to accept the facts,

And the reality that it brings.

It doesn’t matter how smart you are,

You’re never too old to do stupid things.

The older we get, lets face it, the stupider things we seem to do. It isn't just the young who do stupid things, we are at fault...-e-

I agree, no matter what our age, we can do the stupidoro thing, Yes I made that word up. (smile) lets see how many words we can come up with. Inventing words that sound like, aldasoro, gingaporo, patatoro, , oka, now I am giggling, have a great day Michael. I am just being silly, there is no age for that, Yeh!

Not to worry, Michael. I did something stupid about an hour ago. It happens to me daily, almost hourly. I was rushing around in order to leave the house by three for a graveside service. Once I was almost ready to walk out the door, I looked at the clock, and it was only two. Who knows how many chinks I put in the muscle cells of my heart simply from not being able to tell time. I thought the ability to tell time was forever imprinted somewhere on my brain, but either I’m wrong, or there’s a loose screw trying to find its way through my skull. It’s hard to say what’s going on in there. 🤪

If I don't do a stupid thing or two every day, I get worried that I might be getting younger.

How very true. I sometimes marvel at how dumb I can be, as an older man who is suppose to know better. Your poem says this very well.
