It is hell to get old of that I’m told. But I’m still not certain why?<\/p>\n
I used to be able to see my toes when I looked down.<\/p>\n
Five ponds of potatoes weigh more than they used to.<\/p>\n
The road signs have been changed and made smaller.<\/p>\n
Strange things float in the air and become imbedded in my skin.<\/p>\n
I enter rooms and can’t remember the reason.<\/p>\n
Sleep is my newest hobby.<\/p>\n
There is a difference between my grandchildren’s names and my dogs, sometimes.<\/p>\n
Exercise (highly overrated) has become lifting my glass to my lips.<\/p>\n
Beautiful girls call me Sir in bars.<\/p>\n
I still chase my wife around the bed but don’t remember what to do when I catch her,<\/p>\n
It is Hell to get old of that I’m told<\/p>\n
Now I know why!<\/p>\n
