Ten Ways To Tell You Are Getting Old

When your boobs begin descending
When your bottoms getting bigger
When you put on extra weight
And you’ve lost your girlish figure
When you find a friend in chocolate
When you’d rather read a book
When you take of all your clothes
And nobody wants to look
When you get a water bottle 
When your feet are always cold
When the night sweats come to haunt you
It’s a sign you’re getting old

Cute John! I especially love the chocolate part!!! Check out my poem "Wistful Aging" if you get a chance-you may get a kick out of it as I did of yours!
