two old people holding hands on a bench
is what you see but do you know what it took
as each lost a little dream of stardom

Premium Member Depends

In this poem-request, I hope I don't sound overly pushy or snotty :-)
But I pray more Depends can be donated so old people can go potty!

Premium Member now that I am old

when I was young, I remember hearing people say
all old people want to talk about is their bowel movements
Now that I am old
that’s all I want to talk about


Babies

Old people remember
They remember the babies
And the babies are terrifying!
Suddenly they rise up
Grab power in their greedy little hands
And don't remember anything!

Premium Member I'm Not Old

It’s weird being the same age
As old people,
For I feel 
So young at heart,
And although many think
I’m nearing the end of my life,
It feels like 
It’s only the start …

Premium Member Scarecrow Joe and the Bloody Brick Road

scarecrow Joe is sliding off his pole
not enough cognition to fulfill his role
lost his balls and his jacks
to the ruthless Taliban
stumbling to Oz down a bloody brick road

Premium Member April Fools Day

April Fools Day remember that Back in the olden days before I took naps A young whipper-snapper Full of vim and vigor Played tricks on old people and all that crap

Uphill

Life's a One Way, Uphill.
Every Wrinkle on your Face
Marks a Step of Maturity.
You go Up not Looking
At the Peak but Dreaming 
Of Sliding Down, Trying to
Look Younger than You Are.

Premium Member Bestest Damn Feeling

It's said love is the bestest damn feeling ever Finding a washroom needing to pee is much better Love must wait Don't hesitate Knock over old people to avoid being a tenor

Premium Member respect

May we be blessed to remember this simple truth
as each day each life unfolds….
Old people deserve the love and respect of the young…
and young people deserve the love and respect of the old.

Premium Member Storming the Loo

The old people crew hastens to bathroom
even if earthquake or hurricane looms.
     It’s their mission’s caper
     to waste the most paper.
After relief, activities resume.

Premium Member Naps

Nap
Babies like them
Angers toddler child
Cranky attitude puts me there
Research says teenagers need them the most
They are the hardest to convince
Bones and teeth need them bad
Old people game

"irksome Judge's"

All Buildings Crumble-

Demon's Enjoy Fire-

Ghost's Humiliate Irksome Judges-

Kittens Lick Milk, Naturally!

Old People Quit Riot Squads-

Tall Urbane Vampires
With Xchromosomes Yield Zombies!

Premium Member Our Sunset

Old furniture thrown away,
             hindrance in life.
            We gave the best
           teaching knowlege.
           We sow in the rain,
            we have drought 
               in the sunset.

Aiding Both Cultures

Adolescent boys captured, distressed 
eagerly fighting, getting hounded. 
‘Innocent’ Juveniles Knifing Lone Mothers.
Nervous Old People Question 
Rights Set Towards Underage 
Villains. Wanting x-rays, youths zap

Started Becoming Senile

Started Becoming Senile

After thinking about it for a while
Years of age had begun to compile
Often about it lied and prevaricated;
When I was born even post-dated;
Like all old people ended up senile.

Premium Member Do Old People Need a Plunger

Age is just a number, in my case, a dirty big number As a young'un, thought old people needed a plunger To keep things moving In spite of the snoozing Long as we're still able to jump out of our jumper

Premium Member go to restaurant for oldsters

Village Inn
a go-to restaurant for oldsters
old old old old old people
the parking lot is full of walkers and canes
they are hobbling in the speed of clogged ketchup
at seventy-two, I feel like a baby chick next to them

Premium Member Ad Question

Is everyone seeing the same TV ads during commercials?
It seems suspicious to me.
All we get are old people insurance ads
We have watched it seventeen times in two hours.
Surely the younger people are getting Jello ads right?

Premium Member Ruins

Old people
Are like ruins
If you cannot
Cherish their hey days
Don’t dig up
Their past


If  
You
Go after 
The history
Of monuments,
You may cause
Insult to
The glorious past 
Of Royalties 
That have
Long crumbled!
