The Benefits Of Old Age
.
the benefits of old age?
uh!
hold on
I'm thinking
give me a minute
uh!
the benefits of age
um!
one can finally get comfortable
with his eccentricities
I guess that's pretty much the same
as saying
"I don't give a shit"
that's about it
can't think of anything else
don't want to
who cares, anyway?

Made me laugh!

Thanks for the giggle
Love Mand xxxxx

a funny write that gave me a chuckle
despite the serious undertone
cheers

No longer need to drag a comb
being no hair on my dome
and I can selectively hear
without having any fear

thanks for responding. See you around!
good luck on the upcoming elections. I've always preferred "Salt ot the earth" over "Bitter herbs"
I appreciate your service (in advance)

Lovely Shirl
thank you very much. You know, I read your work, just don't comment very often.
I hope you are as happy and delightful as your "online" presence is. You are a charmer.
