Back To Poetry
Time Catches Up
My back hurts and my feet are sore
Activities such as these are fun no more
I remember when I would enjoy
Showing off for girls and playing with toys
It was quite fun as I can recall
I'd run and laugh and have a ball
But now to do it my body aches
Deep Heat and Mineral Ice now await
This tired old body that I call mine
Which has begun to age and fall into decline
No more am I the athletic type
What? Run and frolic? I'm thinking I might
Sit this one out, just sit here and rest
I'll concede I'm no longer one of the best
To play and run is painful you see
Yes Father Time has caught up with me
So, I'm getting old and yes I admit
Running and jumping, It's high time I quit
