The gray has taken over
Tiny lines are in pursuit
This aging thing’s a battle
Fighting back is kind of moot
I snap and pop with movement
Oh, these aching bones are rough
Okay, okay, already!
I have had ENOUGH!
They tell me I should exercise
And I do, but not the right way
Maybe that’s the reason
My pants now fit the tight way.
Next year I hit the big six-oh!
I’m not ready for that number
Unless, of course, it also comes
With lots of extra slumber!
I know I’m being silly
What is it about age?
It’s not the worst that can happen
In fact, I hear it’s all the rage!
Something everyone is doing
Whether they want to or not
I think I have decided
This age thing ain’t so hot!

A great poem…. Aging definitely takes its toll. Loss of function comes on gradually. It slows us down and makes us less active. It is all down hill from there!
So far so good!!

Thanks so much, Dwight! Just discovered WP unfollowed you. I really wish they’d knock it off. Hopefully 2020 will be better for those “happiness” engineers lol

This happens to me all the time Word Press unfollows me on several of my favorite blog sites. Don’t know what is going on. It also drops out when I am posting and has to reload the page!! Not too happy with them!

It’s awful. Every time they do an update, people disappear. I really wish they’d stop it already! I haven’t had the issue with the reload. I hope it saved your work first!! That would definitely send me off on a tirade! lol

Most of the time I lose the last sentence or two, but usually saves the rest!

Thank goodness, although, the last two sentences are just as important. Is this happening on the app or your computer?
