I deserve this because I got old?

arrrgghhh the irritations !

Gray and black it dances in 

private, where public might be shocked

Laughing at my ministrations

Finger and thumb too big...

To hell with a horse, 

give me elastic tweezers

Oh I will so pull...

a stop light, I behave.

but when i get home....

you migrated from my head didn't you?

could have chosen a facial position, or chest or 

crotch,

but no.. leave my head bare and laugh in my nose!

I am so getting the scissors when I get home...

 but 

what does it care.

It will just grow back.

Old age does create new problems. I like the places you took me in the poem. Old ages had few advantages. But we cannot stop time. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Hi Mark a good rant at the ravage that time washes over us. But hey buy some electric cutters! haha!

[Mark]

LOL ya, I was in the car at the time and couldn't get home for a few hours.

[mandy]

lol,,,that was highly amusing,,,and so true too,,,,in your nose or on your ears,,,,and women get them on their chins,,,,

[Mockingbird]

this sounds like an old man trying to tweeze out his nose hairs, or maybe the hairs from his ears. nonetheless, the older gentleman must work twice as much for good grooming. very amusing.

bwhahaha nicely done. Kinda made me feel bad cuz I was totally making fun of my bf for already having some white hairs... and he's only 24

[Mark]

poor guy! I think I was 40 before they started turning gray, but I was starting to watch my hairline recede at 24. :)
