Senior Bells

Senior Bells
            Senior Bells 
I wish my ears would stop ringing

Senior bells
           What the hell

It sounds just like Christmas day


Where’s the sidewalk
                     There’s the sidewalk
I’m not sure though sometimes
I don’t care 
    If those bells would stop ringing

Gas is passing
      Children laughing
I might fall, I can’t see
And of course, 
           I’m still hearing those bells


Senior Bells
              Senior Bells
It’s Christmas time I am thinking

Senior Bells
               Senior Bells
What, have I missed Christmas day


PS
I have Tinnitus, the good part is every day 
                                         can be Christmas!

Mike, you have me sitting here laughing, I was reading some of your poems PS has put in your 'Best Poems by Mike Gentile' and admiring the sweetness, beauty and serenity of those poems, and then clicked to see what is new, this one was a big surprise that made it all the more hysterically funny! So does your tinnitus play in a tune of Jingle (Senior) bells? :) Oh goodness, I needed this laugh. I have dealt with the ringing from time to time, aggravating! Happy New Year Mike, thanks for the lol!

Yes, the problem with that ringing in the ears is aggravating. I have had it for a very long time now and most of the time, I can just ignore it, but then once in a while it is very annoying. Thanks for sharing this humorous one with us. Sara K
