Best Over The Hill Poems

Age fifty comes and you thought forty bad?

Some little aches and pains will start to fill

your weary body, but don’t be too sad,

for you can say you got up to that hill

and over it! And what a thrill it was!

Now sixty comes along and oh,...

Jack and Jill went over the hill
'cause the top was very small
They bounced and rolled right down the hill
like a great big rubber ball

They bounced with the pail of water
that they gathered at the top
Bruised and wet they kept on falling
while praying that they would...

what you will
    when over that hill

    well your feet will swell
               and body might smell

My teeth are all getting loose
and there's a pillow under my caboose.
It's summertime and yet I'm feeling a chill.
Congratulations, You Are Officially There.
You're old and over the hill Kidster Bill....

And then I seen it, whilst looking down from a high 
                A peaceful uniform land, where residents don’t cry

Summit’s past
Sliding downwards
Quick and fast
At the foot, greener grass
Heaven’s gate awaits...

So bitter is the pain that sinks deeper inside
I feel as if I’m taking on water
My body refuses to accept such limitless effort
And my mind can do nothing but ignore its pleas
I must pull my collapsing frame forward
Drag myself with the hook of distractions

Speed is...

Even If I Am Over the Hill

What I will always desire
Is whole world to inspire
Have goals higher then I aspire
Use all my skills in their entire.

Rid world of guns that are plunder
In a disguise have all fallen under
Which has made us all wonder
Why anyone would...

Do you hear me and know what I mean  
Are you able to see what I have seen
Is it clear to you like an autumn crisp day
I hope it’s true and you have seen the Way

Was I loud enough did I project my voice

Really hate it when people say I'm “over the hill”
Haven't reached the hill, age is just a matter of will
Like mind over matter
Don't be a mad hatter
Just skip, jump and sing ditties bout love and roadkill...

We’re born explorers
Eager to grow
Balance the borders
Go with the flow

Untouched, untainted
Unacquainted with time
Yet to be painted
A wide open mind

Our canvas’ bare
Possibilities, endless
Play without care
Virtually, senseless

Abrupt and unforeseen
Leaves us quite miffed
Awoken from a dream

Puzzled by distortion
Vexed by sheer shock
Struggle through absorption
We plead...

I never realized how fast I was climbing
Till the day I stepped over the hill
Where now I find I'm slipping and sliding
All of this against my will

Gray haired and clearly out of energy 
I can't see my way back to the top
I'd heard of over...

Hate it when people say I'm 'over the hill'
Haven't reached the hill yet, age is just a matter of will
Like mind over matter
Don't be a mad hatter
Just skip, jump and sing ditties about love and roadkill...

I'm tired, tired of wishing on every shooting star
reaching for the brass ring hasnt gotten me too far
believe me, its just as tiring to have to lower the bar

tired by day and at night I cant sleep
too tired to tread water and I'm in this...
