Pat Adams Poet Rhyme

Caught By Surprise

The longer I'm in this old world
It seems the older that I get
I guess I knew that would happen
I just didn't think it would be yet

Wait a minute,  I'm over weight?
I didn't think that would happen
I walk a block for my fast food
Maybe it was all the nappin

I have to stop and catch my breath
When I drag back that old trash can
What used to be just a speed bump
Is a mountain to this old man

Caught by surprise, it's quite a shock
When I lift my protective sheath
I guess I'll have to suck it up
Has anybody seen my teeth?

Sunlite Wanter March 17, 2019 at 11:34 AM Priceless, Pat! Priceless! I'm the female version - brought in the trash bin just this morning and spend my days trying to keep from falling! Priceless! You made my day! Pat Adams March 18, 2019 at 3:38 PM That makes me happy Sunlite, that it made your day, not that you can relate. I don't fall down at all but about 3/4 of everything I get a hold of does!.......Oh well....Later, Pat
