Better Than the Alternative

A poem for seniors on aging

Last summer felt hotter and winter seems much colder.

There was a time not long ago when life was quite a blast.

Now I fully understand about living in the past.

We used to go to weddings, football games and lunches.

Now we go to funeral homes and after-funeral brunches.

We used to go out dining, and could not get our fill.

Now we ask for doggie bags, come home and take a pill.

We used to often travel to places near and far.

Now we get sore asses from riding in the car.

We used to go to nightclubs and drink a little booze.

Now we stay home at night and watch the evening news.

That, my friend is how life is, and now my tale is told.

So, enjoy each day and live it up…before you’re too damned old!
