Getting Older

Getting Older As I'm getting older, I'm not getting any bolder, and women's attitude towards me is getting colder. As I become a senior, my demeanor becoming meaner, my funds becoming leaner. With all this trouble, I'm living in a plastic bubble, and you'll find my ethics in the rubble. © 2 hours ago, Terence Cummings Smith rhyme

Dear Terence, it's a myth.. the "golden years" are not so golden after all! Your expressive poem captures "getting older" with potent imagery and terse verse. I especially loved "and women's attitude towards me is getting colder." - such a great line! Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
