The sixth age

 

The wisdom of age

does not compensate for lost

capabilities.

Part of the ageing process

.

Wearing boxer shorts

back-to-front is a sure sign

of getting older.

Frozen

 

From the souls of my

shoes, deathly cold rises through

my tired old body.

Getting older

 

Those I thought were young

are no longer so; in turn

they see an old man.

Admission

 

Disappearing words

blurred in the half-light of a

restaurant; need specs.

On becoming a hobbit

 

As my days get short

the hair in my ears grows with

alarming vigour.
