Old Age

It’s too far to walk It’s too heavy to lift It’s too tiny to read It’s too hard to get up Eye sight dims Hearing gets muffled Memory goes whack You look familiar What did you say? Have I met you before?

Love that last verse! So funny! I say no wonder old people (and I’m getting there too!) are grouchy...you can’t see, you can’t hear, etc..

Hi-Dong, I like this poem. Are we older? Perhaps.., but the humor & laughter still so fresh. -Richard
