The Skin Were In

Our skin when young was soft as a cuddly baby kittens,
getting turkey necks and batwings only leads to wisdom,
will not ever admit defeat,
as I look at my new crows feet,
at least we still have some animal magnetism.

:-) I'm not sure I've much "magnetism" left in the tank, but your great lim'rik is very encouraging as well as giggly wiggly! Enjoyed, ~ j ...turkey necks and batwings...If that ain't one heckuva visual! can't stop chuckling:-) (I might have to try a lim'rik along those lines — may I borrow the line? I'd give you full credit)

won't you admit defeat even at 70+ @Cheryl? I wonder! It makes sense. Cheers.
