Wrinkles and Tinkles

One has wrinkles, but so does the other and they both are a whole lot of bother They can't control when or where they pee To get around, they crawl on their knees Yet a helpless baby everyone loves An incontinent old man nobody does Perhaps it's because the baby's so cute even when decked out in his birthday suit

... Cyclic life!.... I like this observation, Gershon.... Making a note of 'loves' and 'does' - the elusive love rhyme, aside from 'above'. Your quill as absolutely always is on fire, scribing.!

I am picturing this old incontinent man running around wildly in his birthday suit, and I laugh.

You laugh, I cry at this picture.

So many similarities - but you don't want to see the old guy in his birthday suit!

lol made me smile this, never thought of it in this way, but with age we do seem to revert back to an old version of our baby self, great title too, Emilia : )

Yes, exactly. It's like a flower unfolding to the sun and then refolding its petals at the end of the day... Thank you for your insightful comment, Emilia. Hope and Happiness, Gershon

Thanks, Pam. I try not to tell any stretchers, as Mark Twain used to call them. Happiness and Joy, Gershon
