    Philosophy of Life

    Great!!

    To an old friend who sent me New Year greetings vide the poem below mine!! Enjoy!


    Philosophy of Life

    Age is just a number
    do not count the days
    Live & enjoy every moment
    as long as time stays.

    Loneliness is a killer
    get lost in the crowd
    If you want to enjoy life
    take a new young wife

    the company of young women
    they say keeps you always young
    Play on, the music of love
    sing the lovely song you always sung!

    HOW TRUE IT IS!

    HOPE YOU HAVE A VERY HAPPY, HEALTHY NEW YEAR....

    Wild Night At My House

    Another year has passed
    And we're all a little older.

    Last summer felt hotter
    And winter seems much colder.

    I rack my brain for happy thoughts,
    To put down on my ipad,

    But lots of things, That come to mind
    Just make me kind of sad.

    There was a time not long ago
    When life was quite a blast.

    Now I fully understand
    About 'Living in the Past'.

    We used to go to friends homes,
    Baseball games and lunches.

    Now we go to therapy, to hospitals,
    And after-funeral brunches.

    We used to have hangovers,
    From parties that were gay.

    Now we suffer body aches
    And sleep the night away.

    We used to go out dining,
    And couldn't get our fill.

    Now we ask for doggie bags,
    Come home and take a pill.

    We used to travel often
    To places near and far.

    Now we get backaches
    From riding in the car.

    We used to go out shopping
    For new clothing at the Mall

    But, now we never bother...
    All the sizes are too small.

    That, my friend is how life is,
    And now my tale is told.

    So, enjoy each day and live it up...
    Before you're too damn old!!


    You pass this way only once so enjoy it while you can; Live A Lot, Laugh A Lot and Love A Lot!

    Thank you for the greeting, Mazhur. Your poem is an encouragement to those with years. I prefer my wife who is only slightly younger than me to a much younger woman. We can speak and dance without the need for Cuervo Gold and fine columbian.

    Your poem made me remember Billy Crystal's line to Meg Ryan in When Harry Met Sally:
    Sally: And it's not the same for men. Charlie Chaplin had babies when he was 73.
    Harry: Yeah, but he was too old to pick them up.
