It is not very much fun getting older
My waist seems to have disappeared
My face is all wrinkled and crinkled
And I appear to be growing a beard!!!
My hair that was once lush and golden
Now thin with a smattering of grey
My boobs that used to be perky
Getting droopier, more every day
My legs are looking like tree trunks
My bum is no longer pert
My knees are squeaky and creaky
If I run, I know it will hurt!
But I know I ought to be grateful
As some of these flaws I can hide
Cause although I appear to be ancient
I am still just a teenager inside!

LOL… You and me both, and I’m older than you. Thank goodness for hair dye , kaftans and make- up, I say … Otherwise I’d scare people

I thought I would try a little experiment! I have posted a video of me reading this poem on Youtube. http://youtu.be/xGMU8Fz4u7g

Hello, and thanks for stopping by. I am Judy, in my (very) early fifties and decided that life definitely gets more interesting as it goes on! I am a wife and a mum and have just finished University as a Registered Nurse, after having worked as an Associate Practitioner in the NHS. I am also a poet and the author of my debut book, 'Rhymes of the Times.' I love to laugh, and I love rhyming words too, so I joined the two together, and my book was born. I am currently working on another book in the series also. I am a prolific blogger and enjoy writing funny stories, anecdotes, and anything really that takes my fancy.
