"LIFE IN THE MIDDLE AGES"


When did the day
of my youth fade away
with its hearty young snap and its zing?

In a flash, it all went
now, my body is spent
and I can't seem to manage a thing!

Just a short time ago,
like the "star" of the show,
I could haul my own weight on a jog,

but as quick as a wink,
I now grimace to think
that I have all the zip of a log!

Perception of time
can be oddly sublime
when it comes to the process of "age",

and when looking behind,
the majority find
that those "twinges" were just the first stage!

I will fill up my jigger
when afternoon rigor
sets in for the rest of the day,

and I'll drink to the pain
from the earlier strain
that came on in a fleeting foray.

As I noticed around,
I found something profound
That presented an ironic riddle:

When we enter the stage
of that oncoming age,
why does it appear on "OUR" middle?

Doorbell rings, I'm not list'nin',
From my mouth, drool is glist'nin',
I'm happy -- although
My boss let me go --
Happily addicted to the Web.
All night long, I sit clicking,
Unaware time is ticking,
There's beard on my cheek,
Same clothes for a week,
Happily addicted to the Web!


Friends come by; they shake me, Saying, "Yo, man!
Don't you know tonight's the senior prom?"
With a listless shrug, I mutter "No, man;
I just discovered laugh-a-lot-dot-com!"
I don't phone, don't send faxes,
Don't go out, don't pay taxes,
Who cares if someday
They drag me away?
I'm happily addicted to the Web!

Happ-ilyyyyy, ad-dict-eeeed to the Weeeeeb!!! (Yeah!)

Do you still go to the trouble of making those special things ? I used to make a gingerbread house every year, but stopped when my kids grew up. Now, I have a little grand-daughter and I've decided to start again...its uch fun and the kids love them. Do you still go to the trouble of making special foods, or does the freezer section at the grocery store seem more attractive these days?

Volunteering seems to be a growing field of interest for seniors and boomers these days. Many people find it to be more rewarding than paid work ever was. Do you do any volunteering ? Do you find it satisfying?

Today I heard a radio talk about how powerful the fan clubs were in the 50's and 60's, and how the performers would go to a lot of trouble to make the members happy. Did you ever belong to one ? Was it a worthwhile thing to do ?

It was broadcast from WOR in New York. Right now TBS is running a 24-hour marathon of A Christmas Story, narrated by him. I'm taping it and what little I've seen of it so far is hilarious.

SENIOR REJECTS? I used to get the comments in my yahoo email all the time. Now nothing. Was I kicked off because I didn't say much? Or was the group disbanded? I don't see some of the folks who were contributors to that group on Y/A either.

"Backward! Turn backward, O Time, in thy flight!
And make me a child again, just for tonight"

Every Christmas Eve, the local paper in my hometown [Springfield {OH} News&Sun] would print "The Night Before Christmas" on the backpage. It had printed the same page every year since the page was designed in 1939. There was a big drawing of Santa, with elves and reindeer around the border of the page.
Anyway, I always loved that quote which appeared at the bottom of the page. Now I really know what it means!
Merry Christmas to all my fellow "children" [just for tonight]

I hear that Nicaragua has cleaned up their image in the last 10 years. A lot of Americans are investing, and moving, there. Their Cost of Living is low and living there would be a challenge and an adventure.
Has anybody [or a friend/relative] on this Senior's Board retired to a foreign country? How pleasant was the experience?
