I’m feeling past my sell by date,
I near the end of my natural life span,
The sweet bird of my youth has flown,
I have survived many winters,
I grow old … I grow old …
I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.
I have lived to a ripe old age.

Someone mistook me for my mother’s sister.
I do not have a smartphone.
Someone offered me their seat on the bus.
My hair has turned white.
The years seem to fly by so fast these days.
I remember when you clung to your mother’s apron.

All set.
Ready.
Locked and loaded.

Hang on a sec, I just gotta tie my shoes.

It looks a bit like common marigold…
Guess what plant I saw today… it has green leaves and orange petals…
No, not a sunflower!
I just can’t think of its name!
