I deserve this because I got old?

I deserve this because I got old?

A Poem by Mark
"

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.

LOL ya, I was in the car at the time and couldn't get home for a few hours.
lol,,,that was highly amusing,,,and so true too,,,,in your nose or on your ears,,,,and women get them on their chins,,,,

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.
