Inundated with
Creaky hinges
Afflicted by
Annoying twinges
Growing older
Infested with gray
Almost too tired
To kiss or play
Slowly becoming
Crippled and cranky
Undesirable
No longer swanky
Hard lines
Worn creases
Coming apart
In shreds and pieces
Losing thoughts
Oh what to do
Finding it difficult
To even chew
Getting older
Is so unrightful
Never do it
It is frightful!

Lol… I agree… Just gotta keep doing things that are fun and laugh a lot. I’ve found that’s the best way to stay young and be happy. Even through the wrinkles and graying hair. 😉

Guess it depends on what you define as old. 😉 I’m 46, but many people don’t believe I’m over 30. I still feel 16 inside, and feel fairly young on the outside too. And they say, you’re only as young as you feel, so…. Lol 😉
