How You Are Old

It has come to my attention so I thought that I might mention to relieve your concern with old age you really must turn the page which will help to release any tension. I'll mention, and I know that it's bold but it's apparent that you must be told although you're advancing in years which is one of your major fears it's not how old you are - it's how you are old!

Oh, yeah! This is one for my favorites, Ralph. I feel the same way and love the way you structured this limerick to make a poignant message. Am enjoying my vacation, but had to stop by for a laugh. Thank you! Love, Carolyn

I actually think people improve as they get old, they know who they are ~~~

Ha! True, especially since I don't like the alternative!

So true, I hope I never act old. I can be old, I just don't want to think or act old. I can have pain or walk slowly, but I don't want to think old or be grumpy!
