Creeping up

 

Need more KY,

Getting older and dry,

My boobs are droopy and saggy.

Past my sell by date

As my stomach inflates

My thighs wobble more and are saggy.

 

I’m stiff and I’m cold

(Or so I’ve been told)

And ‘headaches’ have now increased.

But still want a cuddle,

Tho’ my heads’ in a muddle~

Oh! Just leave me in peace!

 

My hormones are raging

I know I am changing

And losing my dignity.

Still wearing my jeans

But don’t spill the beans

My size is bigger than it used to be.

 

And now my good hearing

Is fast disappearing

A kip in the afternoon.

An early night

Unread books by the light

Older age creeping up too soon.
