Old Age

Old Age keeps knocking at my door
But I try not to let him in.
I'm not young like I was before;
One day I'll lose and he will win.

That photo is not me, by the way. Just some guy who I found asleep on the street in Recife who never knew his picture was taken. Can he sue me? I'll try to find a better picture just to please you, Bri!

Agree with Bri Edwards. Thanks for inviting me to read this poem. Enjoyed it. Perhaps, I am older than you. Yet, old age and death are the last two things I want to entertain. Or is that just wishful thinking? Am not sure. I would invite you to my poems To Death and End Of The World, if you have time. Thanks again and great regards.

You older than I am? I doubt it. Not many poets on this site are older than I am. I have two married granddaughters, but so far I'm only a grandfather and not a great-grandfather.
