The Ageing Process

Noticed my skin is like sandpaper Blotches showing up everywhere A pimple resides at the end of my nose Some areas have unwanted hair What has happening to this body of mine Seems it's just about falling apart Ankles are swollen to twice their size Been expelling a whole lot of farts It's referred to as the ageing process Is this what's in store from now on No more of this sleeping in until noon Always up at the crack of dawn Needing to pee three times a night My back teeth are floating around Cramps in my legs are driving me nuts And my PJs keep falling down A hell of a mess this ageing process Not a damn thing a person can do Hang in there my friend it won't be long The grim reaper will be calling on you!

I remember this one too - great quatrains here! It's humorous of course, and is the fate of us all, we must face. Always, Laura
