dang what's this is that another gray hair
wow there's lots of silver a-shinin' there
o dang there's more wrinkles between my eyes
I'M NOT EVEN THE AGE OF FORTY FIVE
ol' uncle arthur's moved into my bones,
my poor joints are feelin' stiffer than stones,
drives me crazy goin' into a room,
what was i gonna do? forgot...such gloom!
find myself sayin', "i remember when..."
find myself repeatin', again, again,
hot flashes, mood swings, just add to the fun,
wish i had energy...mine's gone and run!
i shouldn't complain...it could be much worse,
at least i'm not a-ridin' in a hearse,
at least i woke up breathin', above ground,
but gittin' older ain't no fun, i've found!

Lol Karla. That was cute. No-one enjoys the grey hair and the wrinkles - but so what? We cannot change it. Every wrinkle tells a story - and if they came from laughing than it's a good thing.
Wonderful.
Love.

<Twirling round and round in front of mirror counting blessings...LOL> Okies Karla now you really make me glad I've made it to almost 38 and not one of those nasty greys yet in sight! ;O)
Truth is tho "We are only as old as we feel" so feel 20 and it will all be ok! :O)

Excellent, Karla. Didn't figure you to have those years. Loved your poem. Watch for a posting of mine coming soon, to be sung to the tune of "My Favorite Things." I think it picks up on your theme here.
Write on!
