Raging Aging
For my mid age
I'm not too shabby
a few extra pounds
proach'n Sumo flabby
the big thin
begins tomorrow
of this I am resolute
till then, with sorrow
I'll shelve the Speedo swimsuit
Still a man of steel
with a pillow-soft feel
hey you, Father Time!
are you look'n to tussle?
'cause underneath
the fat hides serious muscle
how's about we engage
in a cage match, ten rounds
I'll knock you flat
KABAM! You'll hit the mat
so take that!
you cruel chronographer
Après la bataille
I Mr. Bubblelize
warm water up to my chin
Santa beard suds 'o' plenty
you laugh, you criticize
but rewards only come
to the one who tries
OUCH! OUCH! OUCH!
got soap in my eyes
Damn! Damn! Damn!
I jumped in the tub
with no means of escape
you never take baths…
what were you think'n?
merriment's sink'n
reality comes slink'n
ANYONE THERE?
A LITTLE HELP!!!
emphatically shrieked
in my most macho yelp

Thank you, fellow Robert! Best to keep a good outlook...if I dwelt on the bad I'd be no good to anyone.

I still giggle at this piece, not at but with you... I loved that last stanza and your ' Macho Yelp'...
Omg... Lmfao...hahahaha.... 😂 😂 😂
You really did nail it, though, my lovely friend 🙏🏻
It's so funny because you brilliantly use your rhyming skills to flavor perfectly your sense of humor... I mean c'mon!! looking to tussle with strenuous muscle... Need I say brilliant??? I think not... it's a total given....I really enjoyed this riotous, laugh a line, piece. It's jolly good to see you writing a bit and this lighthearted poem was the perfect springboard....
I hope you are doing well and that you are seen more around these parts, soon. I've missed you!
Much love and respect,
🌹- 🐻💋 🐇

I am so pleased that you like this piece my goddess BB. I am especially happy that you laugh at the piece. I miss you too and I will be coming back poco a poco. Once I get my new job figured out I'll be back full force. It's a beautiful thing to be missed by you 🐻💞🐰
