Wobbly Legs


When I was younger and thought of old age Thought we all became senile at this elderly stage It appears I was wrong, I can still go potty And able to dress this tired old body Try as I might, I don't see very well And my wobbly old legs are as shaky as hell Sometimes my words come out like a squeak Other times I whistle when trying to speak Have a secret my young whipper snappers It's as good as it gets except for my bladder It seems to be constantly wanting attention I don't have a problem with pee retention So now that I've told you what to expect I must tell you all it's as good as it gets Enjoy your youth cause it's downhill from here You'll soon be old and decrepit I fear

LOL…sometimes we live to experience old age. wrinkles, bladders, Arthritis…all in a goody bag. Hugs ~ Kim (My sis 14 years older than me jokes she will change my diaper…I changed hers) and I tell her I hope not to have to deal with that.

oh my....getting older brings such a different reality, doesn't it Jack. That thing about wobbly legs every once in a while...where does that come from. I go to turn around and my legs have a different goal in mind....sigh. Loved your delightful read, Jack. Have a splendid day, Sara
