Youth

I am no longer in my youth, it has flown the coop, my bones, and joints won’t listen to my commands. I spend most of my days picking up dog poop. Don't get me wrong I'm happy to be in my age group, I must admit I'm not fond of these wild grey strands. I am no longer in my youth, it has flown the coop. Sometimes I play bingo with an amazing silver troop, but I miss dancing to live music and big bands. I spend most of my days picking up dog poop. Or talking to my friend Flo who gives me the scoop, I long to take several trips to faraway lands. I am no longer in my youth, it has flown the coop. As I sit daydreaming, I snap to; hubby is a big snoop What am I to do when life and age make demands? I spend most of my days picking up dog poop. In the end, I feel youthful although I can’t hula hoop, I'm ok as I stare at these wrinkled old hands. I am no longer in my youth, it has flown the coop, I spend most of my day picking up dog poop. 05/4/2023 Contest: “Y” Challenge Words Sponsor: Constance La France
