Leaves turn before the season ends,
like a woman who grays, prematurely;
beginning in one spot above her forehead
and then like a skunk, a white stripe grows
back, and age reaches lower limbs.

HA! FIRST!
ReplyDeleteSorry, I am excited about that!
Keep writing, I eat this stuff up.
Mowed.
ReplyDeleteLike a freshly mowed lawn,
Grass dies before it's time;
beginning right between the ears
and then like a reverse Mohawk
it doesn't grow back except out the nose.
Sorry I couldn't help myself.)
Good stuff. Howard, you're killing me.
ReplyDeleteOneBugIsFake - Thanks for eating...I needed that encouragement today!
ReplyDeleteHoward - You're a hoot. ;)
Jay - Thanks! (And Howard is killing me too...ha!)
Old father time respects no-one Erin, we all will get there eventually :):)
ReplyDeleteIn my mind i am somewhere in my 20's, trouble is i look like i am 60 plus LOL
I had an English teacher in high school with the skunk stripe. Poor woman was in her 30s...
ReplyDeleteShe was nuttier than a squirrel turd, though, so I don't know if the hair was the cause of that, or a symptom of it.
Tom - How you feel is much more important than how you look. :)
ReplyDeleteMark - "nuttier than a squirrel turd" is perhaps my new favorite phrase. Thank you for that! And symptom or cause...always a conundrum...although I'd venture a guess it was a symptom...
A distinguishing reality of the life we live. And as I see it, hair is a small price to pay for such fun :-) Something that I am still trying to get used to, as the hair on my head is slowly being donated to some unseen force...
ReplyDeleteSanders - I've been finding signs of age on my head as well..but grey hair, laugh lines, sun spots....all signs of a life enjoyed, I say. :)
ReplyDeleteI thought this was gonna be a post about not catching any fish. Now I feel old AND confused.
ReplyDeleteSorry to confuse! ;)
