Living the Aging Life

The boardwalk stretches across the marsh,

floating above the ground.

It’s hard to believe this desolate tract

is so close to a bustling town.

Tucker is a good old dog.

He’s loyal and he’s true.

When you need some friendly protection,

he’s just the dog for you.

There’s a helicopter up on Mars,

not sure where it is at.

So, the helicopter’s phoning home.

How Cool is That?

There’s constant traffic on our hill

as the cars drive up and down.

They work like ants, incessantly.

Only snow can slow them down.

Long dark days –

cold winter nights—

are soon in the rear view mirror.

Longer days and

warmer nights

are ahead and drawing nearer.

In seven days,

I’m scheduled for

a shot of Moderna Vaccine.

That’s Number Two,

and I’m telling you,

I’m feeling Peachy-Keen!

My clock has been a faithful friend…

keeping the time for years on end…

ticking the minutes off quietly…

sharing its friendly company.

My little Mother taught me a lot.

Some of her lessons, I’ve forgot.

Enough of her lessons stick with me

I’m a better person than I’d otherwise be.

I wrote an Ode

and I lost it in Word.

It didn’t AutoSave.

This computer strife

is the Bane of my Life.

I can’t make it Behave!
