those days are gone

I have five hobbies Do them all day long now that I am retired Cartooning, painting, poetry Tv binge watching Playing with my dogs I used to garden But my knees won’t bend any more I swam and played racquetball in my youth Those days are gone Falling down is one of my biggest fears Since I tore my ACL and meniscus I have two big-butted dogs I use a walker so they do not knock me down Being old is not like being young Do what you can now, while you still have a body
