But We’re Younger than Tina and Mick

Recent e mails from my high school reunion crowd have contained gentle reminders that we are not quite as healthy as we were when we graduated.

We grow a bit older each day

In our own individual way

Bad knees or bad backs

Wheezing lungs, heart attacks

Uh, …. I forgot what I was planning to say.

The problems I’m having are eye and ear related, most of which don’t show.

My eyebrows are growing like weeds

Sometimes their exuberance leads

To stray hairs in my eye

And they also supply

More decoration than my forehead needs.
