This is part of growing old

Before anyone gives me a hard time,

  I can still use the finger.

Sorry.

  Feeling a little defensive.

Would you care to share your limitations?

Now,

 I admit I am sounding a bit abrasive.

So I will step aside,

 and choose to wander.

Words are not meant to castigate,

 and some will need to look the up castigate.

i can't help it if I have a vocabulary.

By now you should realize I am on a ramble.

Back to the finger.

It has  thrown off my knife skills.

  Also my typing skills.

    I keep adding spaces

Sorry again,

 I am practicing.

Not like i am going to let a finger stop me.
