Old age is a progressive thing
This is what I'm told.
There's no way that I know of
To put it all on hold
So bits fall off or else wear out
Until there's nothing left
By the time you reach your eighties
You feel somewhat bereft
I wish my prostate gland would go
Its use is totally abstruse.
In fact there's quite a lot down there
For which I have no use
But on we go regardless
Until there comes that day.
When we have nothing left at all
And we are quietly put away.
You do have a very humorous take on old age Don and thank goodness for that! Brilliant as always. Xxxx 😘😘😘😘😘
Humour is a tool available to us all to help deal with all the s**t that happens to us throughout our lifetime. 😉
Good morning Mr.D and I see you've given us another excellent rhyme to start our day off with a 😃 smile! Thank you!!
I had to look up 'abstruse' Master Po and you were not winging it as they say.
Now i know what it means it's really made my day.
Happy Tuesday old chap,keep giving us the humour and verse especially with the absence of any Spring weather, we need it.
Ski's and the hairy one x
Thank you Grasshopper. The weather has been quite Spring like today, in fact I did my shopping at the garden centre for my tomatoe plants and flower seeds for propagating today. 👨🌾

Well you will live near to that big hill where the clouds unload their load of rain before reaching the coast. When you feel able you must pay me a visit. 😀
Love it! Huge hugs xx
Hi don. Funny but very true, it comes to us all though if we are very lucky. Love burs xxx
Your so funny Mr Don! What a BRAIN! Janet127
Just to add to the cheer
‘The last scene of all, that ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childhood and mere oblivion;
Sans teeth,sans eyes,sans taste, sans everything.’
The bard.
I'm quite enjoying the second childhood bit. 😃

"By the time your eighty years old you've learned everything - you only have to remember it."
Just one of the many problems of old age.
That was a quote by George Burns, remember him!
That is so true. I remember George Burns, but I remember Gracie Allen better.😉
My poor brother-in-law has prostate cancer with some spread but I hoped his sense of humour would see him out. He loved your poem! He's probably sent it round all his friends by now. Thank you for that.
Thank you for telling me this. So sorry to hear about your brother-in-law, I've written this especially for him and his friends:
Who does it think it is
This blasted prostate gland
We never got to use it much
But it thinks itself so grand.
It rules our lives when we get old
And tries to do us in
If I could have it my way
It would be in the flippin' bin.
I am told that mine's enlarged
By those who are so wise
I said I had another part
I'd prefer a larger size
But we've got what we're given
And we must live with that
And to those who are having trouble
Gentlemen,......I raise my hat.
What a lovely man you are! It's on its way. Proud to know you and very grateful. Thanks.
Fran, Armed and Dangerous, Mattcass
What has the milkman done for you???????????
One Thing After Another...!
I'm used to the Hills around Malvern but this was something else. :)
