The Geriatric List

I was tired yesterday.

Not the regular tired,

but the senior type of tired.

Tired of how people treat me tired.

Being older is not fun, and

sometimes I feel like a walking target

for the foolishness.

Sometimes I wonder if my 

grandmothers (or elderly friends)

 felt like this?

There is an entire list of rules

for people my age.

They include ...

Go ahead and "fact check" me. I'm old.

At the store,

race me to to an open check out line,

even though I am in front of you.

Be rude to us,(Larry and me) but 

hold us accountable for 

using a wrong word.

Discount a comment I said,

as if I did not say it at all. 

This is called the invisible factor.

 Never ask my opinion 

or to be part of the conversation 

I am old, and my opinion

 is out of date anyway.

I am so blessed to have Larry.

He loves me and listens to me.

It is Sunday in Texas and 

we are going to the movies.

( I just read this post to Larry and 

he said, well, that's our list!)

Take care.

Love you beyond the moon.
