YOUNG….OLD
When I was young I was top of the world, I never felt bad
Now that I'm old I creak, I groan, I wander, where are the looks I had?
In me wee early days I coulda used a good strapping 🙃
Here lately I’d love a good napping 💤
I say, TIME is life's greatest absurdity, for every lass and lad!

Descent
“60 seconds.” Aris tightened her grip on the overhead handhold. The troop transport shook like a leaf in a windstorm as it battled through the atmosphere. Dim lights flickered on and off as the ship’s systems were battered by pelting rain and narrowly dodged blasts from laser cannons on the surface of the planet.

So 'I' - As Ringo Star (Beatles) once said: "I'm just happy to be here." - You're always fun in your 'Absurdity' sorta way. J-Bud
This was a fun limerick, brought a smile to my face! Nicely done, Will! 💜
👍
Woe is 'us'. Time runs so fast, we can't catch it. My poor bones. enjoyed the puns and such.
Napping is literally all I want to do anymore 🤣. This was great!! Time is definitely absurd!
Fun piece. Time is absurd. I struggled to wrap my head around the concept when I was younger. I was always question time until I realised I was annoying everyone. So I stopped and bought a watch 😅
napping sums up life in my 40s! well done at capturing something many of us are familiar with! I thought I was subscribed already, but wasn't! now Iam!
True words...Well done
Good job as always Will...
Pffft, tell me about it! Time's absurd alright! Cool limerick!
You’re not wrong 😑 nice one!
What is that old expression "Youth is wasted on the young! " Something like that. I think I need a good napping! Great Limerick ☘️💚☘️💚
Your limerick captures the bittersweet feelings that come with aging and reminiscing about youth. Keep up the good work!👌👌👍💗
