An attempt at poetry to make your weekend wonderful!

OLD AGE

Broken hips, from falls and slips, and all too common clumsy trips

Teeth fall out along with hair, while lounging in my underwear.

The internet, that crazy thing; is a challenge, but it’s interesting.

My kids may take me to a show, the whole time saying, I’m too slow!

Porn is in, and God is out. But time moves too fast to hear my shouts!

Weekend sports are not relaxing; the games filled up with questionable factsing!

The players often “take a knee” to say our cops act recklessly.

Perhaps I’ve been on Earth too long. I hardly hear my favorite songs.

Do we get the truth from network news? Or is it lies that they all spew?

Am I just an old man grumbling? Or are our “leaders” inept and bumbling?

Will we remain the land of the free and brave? Or does our country need to be saved?

Can we still say, “In God we trust?” Or is that part of us a bust?”

Our debt is several trillion dollars. And, as it grows nobody hollers!

I’m voicing concerns that, to me, are real as our president signs another spending deal!

I’ve seen a lot, some good, some bad. I’ve had a good life, and I’m glad.

I’m saddened by the debt we’re leaving to all who follow, no plans for relieving.

We can do much better, I know it’s true. Let’s turn off this tsunami before our time is through.

Let’s tell these creeps in DC who never say no. To stop spending our money, or they’ll have to go!

Thanks for reading to the end. Please leave a comment and follow me.
