Yore: a visit to my eye doctor
My vision’s crap, I know that for sure
He noted my age
His comment was sage
Young and handsome, yer no anymore
(Nice.)
He continued, not ready to stop
My knee itched, bent to bury a pop
Looked into my eye
And to my surprise
He said handsome is what you’ve still got
~~~*~~~
*Despite the qualifier, shut the duck up.
Brace yourself…
It’s true, aging is one of my fears
When he voiced it, blood poured from my ears
I will now admit
The number, damn it
I’ve been 29 for 30 years.
A lot from Lydia
