Age piles the years on one by one
Yet we try to do as we've always done
The body gets weak but the mind stays strong
Maybe that's where we all went wrong
We should perhaps throw caution out
And rid ourselves of those fears and doubt
Unshield ourselves and put it about
Get really drunk and rage and shout
But, alas, that's not our way
Perhaps we will another day
As I wait for my favorite meal to cook
I'll just sit here and read my book
I like that rhyme Don and enjoyed reading it. Thank you. Xxx❤️❤️
Nice one Don x
That’s good poem, thanks. Hope you’re ok. Regards Jean x
Nice poem Don. I had much fun in my youth and drank plenty at Uni, enough for a lifetime. I still miss those days but I am certain things would end badly if I tried similar antics today. I am just going to make a hot chocolate before bed :)💓Hope you are well🥂 xxx
thank you Don, that made me smile 😀
Yet another good one! Thank you, and keep 'em coming Don. And stay warm!!!😉😉🌹xx
loved it Donald!! You have a way of making us all smile. My husband liked it too and said when you’re old people expect you to act a certain way but now we don’t have the energy gif shenanigans Lol
Loved it Donald you are so clever.
Just lucky I guess. I lost my good friend Puss unexpectedly, who used to keep my spirits up, only to be adopted by Smudge my new best friend who had become homeless. She deserves a younger owner than me but I don’t think she will have much trouble finding another sucker if necessary.
what a happy looking cat, it's found it's home sweet home.
What an elegant pose ☺️
Safer to sit and read your book Don than throw it all about, hope you and the cat are both well x
lovely , and very correct. I don’t think we’d have the energy or breath to shout anyway if we wanted to but you are right, it’s not our way so I just carry on playing solitaire.
Take care

Hope you’re well Don x
Love it Don! I couldn’t go wild even if I had the energy. My cats are still in recovery from when I had a go at one of those dance fitness videos years ago and start looking nervous whenever I put music on🙀 Mind you, I’ve never been the same since either😀
I hope you and Smudge are well x
Wonderful Don!
🤣. Brilliant poem Don and good to hear from you 😊👍. I haven't had any alcohol since my early 30's (about 40 years ago) often tempted to have one but don't know how my body would react after all this time so best stick to the cuppa tea!! Love to Smudge & take care ❤️xxx
Love the photo of Smudge and the poem! Raging wastes waaayyy too much energy that could be used for having fun instead, or eating a fine meal!😊
Another great rhyme Donald. Love ’em 🥰
You've hit the spot again Don. Love to lovely relaxed Smudge. xxx
well said Don.
smudge name really suits him Don. He’s absolutely gorgeous. With that look on his face he is saying ‘come on give me a cuddle’
I did think myself that Smudge sounded male a name, but no she is very much a she. She doesn't much like being handled and I've only recently been allowed to rub her tummy. I got nipped once or twice at first when she thought I was being over familiar. Reminded me of my youth. 😉
Hahaha. I've been "nipped" a few times too

Books are the best!
They definitely are, real books for all sorts of reasons. But when you get really old and your eye's are not so good and arthritis affects your hands and arms, iPad sometimes have to do.
A problem shared . . . . . 
We need help why does my family not understand.
Walk 1000 miles 
Just another day in the office
Go on, I won't tell anyone!
