What Is Wrong

I take a step
My ankle’s broke
I turn my head
I have a stroke

What is wrong?
Asks my concerned mate
I’m old I’m fat.
I’m sixty-eight

Caren, I know the feeling. I take a step and lose balance. Perhaps best to laugh at these age things. Take care. Tony x

I have to admit I never realized getting older meant you would lose your eyes and your feet!

I could not resist; my body and I have been having a time lately. I keep pretending I am much younger and it laughs.
