Aging

A Limerick

Fear of Aging, 2002 - Scarlett Royal

Heather, when young, was quite fetching,

Her form divine whene’er stretching.

But now stooped and bent,

Her bones and joints spent,

She’s forlorn and reduced to kvetching.

About the Creator

D. Diego Torres

Writer of nonfiction and fiction, voracious reader of great literature, fan of the horror genre. None of that pays very well, if at all, so I'm thankful for my day job as an institutional research analyst. I really love long weekends.
