Age Appropriate

Whining, is age appropriate, With wrinkles - both newborns and aged. Boo-hoos - in cradle; before grave. The old straitened; babes’ swaddled. With wrinkles, both newborns and aged, They are bathed, despoiled, and diapered. The old straitened; babes’ swaddled. Rock and roll lullabies, falling. They are bathed, despoiled, and diapered. Boo-hoos - in cradle, before grave. Rock and roll lullabies, falling. Whining is age-appropriate.

I try not to do too much of it, but, once you reach a certain age, a little "whining" is understandable.

This is almost painfully true- your mind takes us all to the common meaning of things, it's always a pleasure to read
