Who Has Crepey Skin?

I told hubby, I have some crepey skin

He said, "Imagine my shock to see mine.

A whole life of lifting weights, loose and thin."

~

My arm went up and quickly down, wherein

I chose not to see that crepe skin of thine

I told hubby, I have some crepey skin!

~

I said, you win and I did have to grin

He always wins, and I sometimes will whine

A whole life of lifting weights, loose and thin!

~

It is winter causing this, what a sin

too much sun started it, just like a brine

I told hubby, I have some crepey skin!

~

I noticed this year, I am on a spin

out of control, this aging is not fine!

A whole life of lifting weights, loose and thin.

~

It could be worse, what is there in that bin?

Does crepe erase work? Try it and let's dine!

I told hubby, I have some crepey skin!

A whole life of lifting weights, loose and thin.
