Pat Adams Poet Rhyme

Tired

If eyes are mirrors of the soul
My soul is red and saggin'
I think my brain went on a stroll
And for sure my tails a draggin'

I'm a chicken that's out of clucks
An old wall missing its mortar
Some might feel like a million bucks
I'm more like a buck and a quarter!

Soon sweet slumber I will embrace
As I quietly drift to dream land
Rejuvenating, I keep this place
In the palm of my wrinkled hand!

CayCay Godwin February 1, 2018 at 10:39 AM How precious and funny. It is all true which is why we must laugh about aging and you have given the world a wonderful chance to laugh it up. I love the wit, the imagery - just perfect from start to finish. When I click off, I'll still be grinning! Shouldn't we call Readers Digest? All the best ... CayCay Pat Adams April 20, 2018 at 3:20 PM Wow! I hadn't thought about Readers Digest in a while. My mom subscribed to it for many years. It was probably a major influence on me for humor and a love of puzzles!. Have a great day, Caycay!
