A Recurrent Theme Comments

the older you get the less you can do I'd like people I've met to not say 'who? ' Such a joy. Thanks for doing something wonderful with the truth of “old age” by putting it in rhyme for us to appreciate and enjoy. If we live, we all will get there some day.

Love this Chuck, it could be the swansong of so many of us on here! ! ! That last stanza sums me up to a tee! ! Fab. HG: -) xx

How did I miss this one first time round? Struck a chord for sure -particularly these lines 'I 'd like people I've met to not say 'who? ' and as for the last verse - yep can certainly echo that one - my soul is always sneaking off to write...! Justine :)

Love this one! Kindred spirits. Poor slob... make the most of your weekends and vacations for that necessary freedom! It is always wiser to feed your spirit... I'm glad that your soul sneeks off to rhyme. Esther : ]
