Talking about aging is enough to cause a stroke Medicare, stop treating me like I'm soon gonna croak I think I'm overthinking, to the future I won't trudge  So I won't think of it again, and I'm not going to budge   Writing Prompt The topic for this poetry contest is: What Think You of Aging Write a poem that somehow incorporates the topic.
