10th ANNUAL
INTERGENERATIONAL POETRY CONTEST
I ain't old, but I've been told
to give up my car and drivers license
I ain't old, but my vision blurred
got near and far reading, driving glasses
I climb the stairs with both hands
sit on my buttocks to go down
I use a cushion to sit in a chair
Breathe oxygen instead of air
I've decided to live in my house
you already planned to move me out
I ain't old, but I've been told
Take so much medication, I'm constipated
Going backwards instead of forward
Wear adult underwear cause my badder gives
This isn't how the elderly should live
I ain't old, but I've been told
No one helps me they want me to sell my house
Evict everyone and everything even the mouse
I ain't old but I've been told
