This year I have turned 65?
Apparently I’m still alive.
But today will spell the last....
of much to which I’ve held fast.
As a kid I enjoyed each sweet treat,
and getting older I still did eat......
pies, and cookies, and also cakes,
but LESS CANDY, for goodness sakes.
I lost two close friends.....
when breakdowns caused their ends.
Where they were is now hollow;
I swore I would not, them, follow!
I now still eat some sweets,
but more so fruits and meats,
AND vegetables galore.
I’d like to chew some more.
Did I mention my “grinding” past?
Today it’s ME who’ll be ground at last.
Before long, what’s left of me will wear a crown,
but NOT due to any great renown.
Something’s been eating ME.*
AND today the grinding’s NOT for free.
[Good thing for good dental insurance.
And I bet that “Bri” is in concurrence.]
