And So It Begins

And so it begins, you start slowing down muscles atrophied sight begins to blur and dreams drift away. Your hair turns grey you wear false teeth you put on weight and cannot sleep. You’re grouchy and can't hear, all sure signs you are growing old.

A wonderful diminished hexaverse, my friend. It made so much sense I did not realize it was a diminished hexaverse until I got to the last three words. Good luck in Line's contest.
