| WEB ADDICT I do my chores and watch the time I can't move fast enough! I hear the sound of the doorbell chime I rush to the door with a huff and puff And I brush the salesman off I have errands to run I'm not having fun! I must hurry and shop Don't want to stop! I'm in no mood to roam Gotta get home And turn on my PC Any e-mail for me? A message from a friend who's ready to chat I get on-line and we "chew the fat". Oh my goodness, the time has flown! I've gotta get off and move on! Copyright ©2000 Edith Bael |
MY REFLECTION As I look in the mirror the reflection I see is no longer the slender person I once used to be With age it seems to be my fate to add on this unwanted weight My once luxuriant tresses are now peppered with grey But thanks to my "friend", Miss Clairol, At least I can wash that away My teeth are still straight My vision's not great Body aches and pains abound! My hearing, well, I can still hear the slightest sound But I've slowly come to accept as fact my youthful body is gone and will never come back! Copyright ©2000 Edith Bael |
He slowly gets up in the morning
He puts on his specs
And stands before the mirror
tries flexing his pecs
But those muscles, once firm
Are slowly becoming flab
Love handles are developing
Around his once flat abs
His butt has fanned out
He's no longer trim
He shaved off his thinning hair
On an impulsive whim
As he bends over to pull on his slacks
He feels a slight pain in his lower back
There's a creak in his knees
As he walks around
But his hearing's gone bad
He hardly hears the sound
His teeth are the only thing that haven't gone bad
For this he's very thankful and glad!

MEN ARE SO IMPOSSIBLE
Men! So impossible are they!
Even the intelligent ones need
a good woman's direction everyday!
They cause themselves so much stress
But we women will help them
none the less
Why are men so persistent
about having things their way
And then they get frustrated
if there is cause for delay
If they lose direction
when traveling around
They refuse to stop and ask
how to get where they're bound
Even worse is when they get sick
and can barely get out of bed
They refuse to call a doctor
They just suffer instead
Men! They're such a pain!
They can cause my energy to drain!
