Aging Gracefully
It gives you clarity, perspective and appreciation
Always thought cataracts were rapids in a river
Or a boat or something: fuzzy thinking
Don't think they give clarity
Even bifocals don't help
As a kid I wanted to be a king like Arthur
Didn't realize getting a crown would be painful
Like a poke in the eye: going down the canal
And not a canal in Venice either
Always enjoyed a smile with dimples
But time adds wrinkles to the smile
Causing ever so slow changes
As my dimples turn to jowls
I found out that PSA
Isn't a pro sport authority
Doesn't regulate the rules of golf
But It can affect my game
