Getting Old (some language)

I've accepted that life is a dance
I've spoken in romance and rants
but physically speaking
my joints are a'creaking
I'm leaking and shitting my pants

so, I keep near to places with loos
and dry myself out drinking booze
it's a hell of way
to fritter a day
you could say it's a way to amuse

and I guess that I'm less of a catch
than a slob or a dolt or a letch
getting old is a beast
oh, I'm moldy and creased
but at least I'm not Obi the Wretch!

Happy to admit, its all too true !
But only a wizened old "follow through" of a fart
such as you could make me laugh.

Nice one mate!

Hello, Thomas -
I bow to your limericks! You are the king!

I enjoy writing limericks, it's true. Ever since I first started reading at all, they were there and they've stuck over the many years. Still waiting to write that one perfect zinger, though!

Thank you for enjoying!

Thomas
