Birthday Girl

Birthdays are a *****
I don't want to get old that's true.
Rows of wrinkles like a shar pei
Thinning hair looking sort of blue.
Heart and Hearing not as they once were
Droopy boobs like udders on a cow,
All your joints are wearing out
Your hips and knees are new ones now..

Going to the loo is a timely nuisance
In your bladder you no more trust. 
Remembering to note the toilet areas
Liners in your panties are a must .

Oh, Seren, this is SO GREAT. It was so comical. Though I was not really looking for funny, I just had to give this one a fairly high placement because it really struck my funny bones. Congrats in my contest. And I see that I saw this one back in Aug. haha. I was thinking maybe Jan had written it!!!
