The wise, withered old block 🤣
I need to give myself some wise advice, now that I am getting older
Coz this sixty one year old skin will be wrinklier in the eyes of that beholder
And I am also so well aware that when it is wintertime, I am always feeling constantly that much colder
Nowadays I am sadly losing my confidence from being younger, carefree and boisterously bolder...
Now there may come a day when I have to stop what I am doing
And take a rest and relax instead of rushing around and viewing
I will have to hold on to my marvellous memories, not losing my marbles with them suddenly scattering and strewing
Oh isn’t this forever growing older just a nuisance of a nightmare with it’s pondering and problematic pursuing?...
Huh I look at Jill in that mirror on the wall
Now it’s not a case of ‘Silver threads among the gold’....coz alas sadly there is no gold left at all
And I can’t rush around like a whippet like I used to....Haha I have to take my time and crawl
God help me when I am ready for that knackers yard after stumbling with a fatal fall....
But there’s absolutely nothing that anyone can do about that tick tocking clock
Our timelessness of time is never gonna stop it’s turning and take a pause with a lock
And I can tell you speaking from experience when people say growing old gracefullt is great.... Huh that rubbish is just poppycock
I know what I am on about coz I am sixty one... heed my learning curve and take a tip from this wise, withered old block....

Love this! I can sooo relate to it. But you know what? NEVER grow old gracefully! Never grow old! DENY it!! Look in that mirror and accuse it of lying! That's what I do. Okay sometimes I get a blip when reality does one of those awful reset things, but I just do my best to fuck it all up as quickly as possible. Reality can be such a bitch!
So, Jill, deny it. Deny, deny, deny! As Dylan once said (was it Dylan?) "Do not go gentle into that good night." No, dont! Put up a fight. Go kicking and screaming and remember...deny, deny, deny, deny, deny!!
😉 Brilliant poem! Very well written and extremely relatable. Go right to the top of the class young Jill x
Pml@u I thought u were alot younger than me christ im almost a bloody fossil 🤣🤣🤣
Not a huge lot younger lol. In my 50s ...ahem, did I just say that? I mean teens...(denial, see?). And you are NOT anywhere near a fossil! My goodness you have to really get into this denial business 🤣🤣🤣 x

Awwww ay its funny but we all in similar age brackets xx
I Too am your age.....and you know what.....I'm enjoying getting older.....things are slowing down and i'm enjoying the process.....I seem to get more enjoyment and comprehension out of the little things in life as well as facing my larger issues.....my dreams are more vivid than ever and I seem to remember more of them in the morning than I used to.......I take great pride at reminiscing over some of the amazing things I've done in this life........and I'm writing better than I ever have before......so although most of the comments on here profess the opposite.....I MUST speak my truth....and my truth is that growing older is quickly becoming the favorite part of my life thus far!!......Thank you JILL!!....for sharing this amazingly contagious piece of poetic prose!!......PINNED this one because of its truly inspiring aspect!!......LOVE & ROCKETS!!.......T xo : )
