A Little Poem, so true it hurts!

Submitted by legal stranger:


Another year has passed 
And we're all a little older. 
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 have hangovers, 
From parties that were gay. 
Now we suffer body aches 
And while the night away. 

We used to go out dining, 
And couldn't 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! 

Happy New Year!

  1. Mary, Though I have never met you, I don't think your going to ever get old. I think you run on "Energizer Batteries"

  2. I FEEL YOUNG, EXCEPT FOR THE PEOPLE AROUND ME THAT ACT TOO OLD FOR THEIR AGE...They whine and say they are too old for this and that.

  3. I really don't mind slowing down a little. I've earned it. Besides, you can always still "drink a little booze" at home while watching the nightly news... ;>
