Other side of being fifty<\/div>\n
So much of rising anxiety<\/div>\n
So much not to remember<\/div>\n
Sidelined as a\u00a0 valuable family mamber<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Plumbing becomes dodgy<\/div>\n
Reaching rest room hitty-missy<\/div>\n
Becoming unsocial so scary<\/div>\n
Wrinkly skin least of the worry<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Sneezing the bladder gently goes<\/div>\n
Climbing stairs breath also labours<\/div>\n
Ringing in the ears with no orchestra<\/div>\n
Needing aids for eyes and ears extra<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Agility it’s\u00a0 a distant memory<\/div>\n
When memory losing its agility<\/div>\n
Fragility is a constant company<\/div>\n
Company is fraught with fragility<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Tooth brush and hair-<\/div>\n
comb<\/div>\n
Die a natural death<\/div>\n
Hair dye and glasses for the eye<\/div>\n
Are specific attire to suit well nigh<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Still silver and golden Jubilee<\/div>\n
Pearl and ruby wedding anniversary<\/div>\n
May make one feel so rich<\/div>\n
In wits and wisdom so proud of which<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Yet in one piece getting to the finish line<\/div>\n
Is not a walk in the park, if you know what I mean<\/div>\n
It’s a hard grind, never mind the crutches<\/div>\n
Visiting temples, mosques or holy churches<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
When old never mind your\u00a0 wrinkles<\/div>\n
Then as youngster as you did with pimples<\/div>\n
Then one was on a hormone-roller-coaster<\/div>\n
Over fifty life is good if can avoid a wheelchair!<\/div>\n
