Venting

I once was young And now I'm not. That knowledge gets To me a lot. My hair is thin, My skin is lined And if you ask, Of course I mind! My knee hurts when I walk the stairs. Complaining's useless - No one cares. Forgive my mood - It's evident That there are times One needs to vent.

I'm with you Ilene. It's one of the good things about getting older, being able to vent.

Wonderful poem. Everyone needs to vent sometimes. The trouble starts when we try to hold everything in.

Welcome to the club! Love the short lines in this poem, it read fast and makes the point just as fast. Brought up French I was weaned, so-to-speak, on all those disgusting viscera most Americans hate. And, yes, I occasionally will have a hot dog. After all, I'm not a snob. / M
