Awe, so you've been in the voting booth? Thank you for your lovely comments Kay, and yes, this was a fun one to write. Sometimes if we make fun of something it is less scary for us. Thanks also for the six stars my very dear friend.
Comment from Annmuma
I love it!!!! This was the most pleasant post I read this morning and it was nice to enjoy a smile. Indeed, old age is not for sissies! Still, it's got its advantages --- too often I am too tired to look for them! lol Great job, Debi. ann

Ann, thank you, thank you, my sweet friend. It was a lot of fun to write, but one thing I am curious about and been a little too shy to ask any of the guys. The line about the guys in bed, did you catch the end of the line that said, but not for play? I was going to put a hyphen in it but I thought that would be too obvious. LOL, just curious if anyone noticed that.
Thanks for having some fun with me and I appreciate your generous six stars. Thanks again. Love, Debi
Comment from Pam (respa)
-Very intriguing artwork and nice presentation, Debi.
-You wrote a very good poem about aging.
-They seem so effortless and flow smoothly
with good images and rhyme.
-You also tell a good story.
-My favorite part is the one with
the "four guys in bed!" That is very clever.
-I also like your line with thoughts of becoming extinct.
-You're also right about teenage years, and maybe younger;
we many would say I can't wait to be .... and then we are!
-A good closing couplet, and I will still be your friend
if I can remember it, ha, ha!!
-Very well done.

You are very welcome, Debi, and no problem about being late.
Comment from Treischel
A delightful read that made me smile at these wonderful rhyming couplets. You did traipse through the calendars with deft easy and a tongue in cheek. Enjoyed it very much.

Hi Tom, I always like to learn a little about the person I am talking about so I check out the profile. I see that you are from the capital city of my state. I am amazed how many here are from Minnesota. Looks like we are about to find out what Winter is about here again. It should really shorten the season anyway. However my husband and boys in the family are big fisherman and can't wait for ice. Sorry, I am known as the site's chatterbox. LOL
Thanks so much for the awesome review and kind comments. So appreciated! love, Debi

Hi Debbie. Hello to a fellow Minnesotan. Yes, the temps are about to dip for the ice lovers and carnivalers. My son plows snow in winter. He is having a bad year.
Comment from Pearl Edwards
Oh yes, can't I relate to this one. Our babies become adults and the years seem to fly by. Then I am the oldie with the walking stick. I enjoyed your walk through the years Debi smiling as you go and I love the picture.

Hi Debi,
This is a fun and true poem about aging. I like the couplets and the humor. The artwork is perfect for the poem. Luckily I haven't met Art- thritis and Ben Gay yet.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Enjoy the rest of your week

Comment from June Sargent
I'll be keeping my eye out for those new best friends! It's only a matter of time. The golden years are not all they're cracked up to be! Loved the humor in this. I have two titanium hip joints. Can't wait to see what is further down the road. The yellow brick road...

Well, you see how far behind I am, since you responded five days ago! So sorry for my lateness.
Comment from Father Flaps
Hi Debi,
Real cute, my dear! I have to send a sixer your way for this comical look at growing old. What's a prostrate??? LOL.
Old age sneaks up on us, doesn't it? It's like a Sioux warrior, quiet as a mouse until he strikes... out of the blue! And deadly, too. I walked 458 miles on the Grand Bay Trail in 2023, but you should have seen me today, carrying boxes of Christmas decorations and ornaments downstairs to storage. My knees were ready to snap. Sore! The cat was meowing all night long... I finally closed the bedroom door and grabbed a set of earplugs. But after a few minutes, that didn't work either... I could hear my heart pumping... ka-thump, ka-thump, ka-thump, rattle-rattle, ka-thump, ka-thump, ka- (uh-oh, no thump???), KA-thump! (Oh, there it is!) So out come the earplugs, and there's that constant whining again! Oh misery!
My favorite lines,
"At forty we would care enough to still fight for a cause
Our fifties cares were more about prostate and menopause"
and,
"So many times I've heard them say the phrase, "been there, done that"
It's been so long since I've been there, I don't know where 'that's' at"
and,
"My husband knows I have four guys in bed, but not for play
Their names ~ Art-Thritis, Charlie Horse, Will Power and Ben Gay" ... (this is simply fabulous! LOL.)
Thanks for the laugh! We need more of this.
Hugs,
Kimbob

Hi Kimbob, you are so sweet, my friend. Thank you so very much for the kind comments and for having some fun with me on this poem. Yeah, these guys get around. Maybe I should try Jack Daniel's, Tom Collin's, and Captain Morgan instead. LOL; thanks also for the awesome six stars, my dear friend.
Lotsa Love, Debi
Comment from artisart4u
This is a good poem about aging and the stages we have to go through.
Yes, it is better to face it with humor because it is coming.
Those four guys in bed I know them. That is what I am going through now.
Your couplets are nice and I watched your YouTubes.
Congratulations on being recognized.
