Blink Twice

Loose teeth and wispy hair Shadows of memory’s cupboard bare Mouth open, teeth gone missing Malodorous breath rules out kissing Didn’t I see him just three months ago dancing a jig, cavorting to and fro Blink twice, turn around ~ Too quickly our vitals shut down

truth within your humor lies. I agree...seems like age becomes visible so quickly these days. I didn't really start to 'show my age' until after major surgery.. EEGADS! Seems like I blinked; went into surgery; woke up; blinked again; gray hair...what the heck! :-)
