Dad Gum It

Pity all of those rest home fellows

Over time all their hunger mellows

Without their dentures in

All their meals will begin

Sipping their soup and slurping Jellos

Hi Kim, yeah getting old has its setbacks, but as long as I can remember my name, I'll still be on top of the game.

Hi Karen, for whatever reason, I've been on a limerick kick lately. They're fun, short to write, and humorous. Since I'm somewhat of a clown myself, they suit me well. Thanks for the feedback.

Hi Jan, I probably shouldn't make light of the situation. That could be me in a few years. Although I do like soup. Lol
