A Little Poem On 'Getting Older' - Celebrating Creativity In 'Old Age'

The sea is rough and I never learned to swim
So I won't push the boat out
I won't push the boat out
I shall stay on shore and have a feast
Of delicious happy thoughts and plans
For treats and pleasures coloured pink
With my extraordinary friends and swap stories
About how we survived so far and feel proud.
Then maybe we shall play some cards or paint a picture
Perhaps sing a song filled with nostalgia and cry while
We celebrate each other with toasts made of sparkles
And effervesse with happy feelings and love for each other!

Premium Member Happy Hysterics

Hearty har har - helplessly howling happy hysterics
awareness, after all, always amazes artichokes!
Everyday evil eggs are eaten eagerly
yesterday you yacked yucky yellow yolks
singing silly sickening sapsucker swill songs!
Dangerous dopey dogs deny dumping dung
but bark big brash bumpkiss bile!
Flighty flatulent fireflies (flitting furiously!)
swirling sloppy sides soaked in salsa
tirelessly tipping tutus twisting tantalizing twitters
wearily weaving wacky worlds wastefully. 
Go grab the great gain green giggling goo goo ghost
mIsmanaged, maybe my magic medicines magically made mud!
Watch which one will wash wondrously white, wait.
Hearty har har - happy hysterics howl helplessly
after all artichokes always avoid awareness anyway!

Greed

What is greed? Is it when you give up because you know
you're not good enough? Or because you're just too good?
When you feel like you've taken control of everything
but actually lost yourself in the process.
Trying to re-live each happy moment to try and
keep the bad ones away.
Stuffing yourself full with the pathetic excuses
used against those who aren't like you.
Taking control of the wrong.
Demanding yourself right.
Only your mind itself knows
what you dream of at night.
Dream of all the riches of the world
while deep inside you're wishing for all the wishes
in the world.
Keep them locked up as long as you can.
That's what caused it all in the first place.
Greed doesn't have to be riches.
It could be somebody's feelings.
Forcing them to feel how you want them to.
To make you happy.
You won't be happy for long
living in your own self pity.
Living in your own greed.
