A Little Poem, So True It Hurts ...........

Another year has passed
And we're all a little older.
Last summer felt hotter
And winter seemed 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 for weddings
Football games & 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 & take a pill.

We used to often travel
To places near & far.
Now we get sore asses
From riding in a car.

We used to go to night clubs
And drink a lot of booze.
Now we stay at 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 & live it up,
Before you're too damn old !
