Pranks

Pranks AGE, likes to play pranks And tamper with my eyes When I look in a mirror It reflects awful lies. My hair medium brown Long ago turned grey. Mustache on my lip, No, no , no how, no way! My figures an hourglass Sad my sands shifted My minds creative It memories drifted. What about those jowls Hanging down so low My full luscious lips Now, where did they go? My eyes big and bright Unusual shade of green. Age… Pranks you’d stop playing, If you’d seen the hag I’ve seen! Barbara Barry-Nishanian Nov.13,2017

I bet you are absolutely stunning. True beauty within is shining like a revved up blowtorch from the page. Let me get my sunglasses.

I like the melancholy yet comedic point of view of this. Aging may take its' toll on us, but it also brings wisdom and a certain sophistication.
