Poor Rudolph was getting old,
He had the start of a heavy cold.
He did not want to pull the sleigh.
In the manger, he wanted to lay.

Slowing down and not so bold
To lazy to bark
Slow walk in the park
Still keeps me warm when I get cold

That bitterness can rot the soul
Unkind words can dig a big whole

Premium Member Getting Old

When his joints ached as he rose
he kicked the chair leg in despair.
He knows it is the fault of age…
but it’s easier to blame the chair.

Who's brain was getting old and foggy
He frequently forgot
Where he had marked the spot
Everywhere he looked was soggy

My First Limerick

Getting old is really tough
This daily pain gets very rough
Creeks and crackles when I bend
My body is trying to send
A message its had enough

Being old is out of self
Getting old is finding a shelf
Living old is pain itself
Dying old is righteous death

Getting Old

I'm getting old,
I have a suspicion.
How do I know?
Corrugated skin
and sunspots

of road map
composition.
If multi colored
would paint
a rainbow.

Age rushed in like the waves of an unrelenting sea…
knowing she could not hold back the tide
she welcomed in the ocean
and did her best to enjoy the ride.

Senior Truth

If I must tell the truth about getting old,
Then I shall put all my cards on the table
Even when I’m naked I still want to
Slip into something more comfortable

you know you're getting old
when your idea of a great party
is one that gets you home by seven
in time for your favorite tv show

Premium Member The Angst of Aging

I never thought much about growing old
While challenging the idea of “getting” old
A well-aged wine or cheese has merit
A well-aged man has wrinkles and nose hair

An old Irish gnome named Mr. Wiggles
Has never ending humor and giggles
His jokes are getting old
It's the same ones he's told
But still fun to watch his belly jiggles

Premium Member Can'T Bear It

A Polar bear
With an icy stare
Looked down at her newborn cub
Feeling sad, and felt bad
As she had no milk to sup
She was getting old and extremely cold
Her milk had frozen up

Left To the Wolves

That's the trouble
with getting old
everyone is waiting
for you
to die
at least
in ancient cultures
they didn't shed
crocodile tears
they put you out
the door,
literally.

Premium Member Aging

getting old
Feeling cold
Croaky voice
Have no choice
Wrinkled skin
Getting thin
Thin and scraggy
Eyes baggy
Mouth droopy
Going loopy
Legs all swollen
Youth has gone
Stolen
