Haha, you told it like it is for many, Raul. I enjoyed your
fun contest entry. I'm so glad those days are waaaay ahead
of me. Your examples were fun, and your words had good flow.
I wonder if you meant wrinkly instead of wriggly, but I can
see it either way.
Best wishes in the contest, Jan

Relax and enjoy it. Think of the other side of growing old. Growing old and still breathing, living, experiencing new things. Being able to get to know the grandkids and watching them grow, or being someone who died very young and being mourned forever more.

ROFL! I've enjoyed this so much that I've read through it four or five times taking in the visuals in my mind. What a great job with this one, my friend! Thanks for sharing.

A number of things written catch my attention:
my age will bend my stomach out of shape,
the wife here needs to get used to it, (and mine has, never saying a word unlike husbands. Wonder why?)
Wrinkling insurance. That needs to go to a health insurance company. Underwriters will find a way to make it happen.
"Don't worry, grow old!" Improved version of ... be happy.

Age is just a number I which we wonder if we can retire early or later.
As we age there's things we find we can't do any more. Like sweeping the floor ,driving, the honey do list is no longer necessary for the is no one to work. We're having groceries delivered right to the door and meds brought to us from the pharmacy.Fast food is now delivered for a price. We may have creepy bones and such but the is still life in us. Yeah!

Comment from dragonpoet
Raul,
This poem seems to say that don't sweat growing old. It will happen and everyone must take body and mind changes in stride. I like the personification of insurances.
I found to mistakes. In the second stanza won't should be will. In the stanza four I don't think you need the word toy.
Good luck in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy

I enjoyed this poem that shows so clearly how undignified growing old is. The only thing that jarred on me a bit was the use of the word wriggly. I associate that with very young children who have too much energy and can't sit still... Kate
