Why do we have to get old and crinkly When we reach a certain age Why can't we stay all smooth and cuddly Like we were when we were babes! Some people call me a crinkly old man But inside I'm still cuddly as ever Don't miss a trick, still go for my walks Out there in all kinds of weather As jovial as ever, this happy old man Wants nothing more than sweet love Bonding with all his very close friends Till the sun don't shine up above So those of you who are reaching old age My advice is just let it all flow Crinkles add character heard someone say But inside the love still glows © Jack Ellison 2013

It doesn't matter how old or young you are. How many wrinkles or pimples. Its how we live our lives and treat others that matter. Nice write.

Dragon applauded and had me read it to him several times... He said if he can be cute and cuddly with all his scales then I can be too...with all all my wrinkles... Er... Thanks Dragon... I think... Do I have wrickles?... LOL... Maybe just a few... Sigh!

Yes, definitely. The last stanza says it all. At the end of the day, at the end of our time, our love inside will still glow.

"character comes with age" and a lot of people say I'm quite a character! Is that good? LOL
