I flex my muscles all by myself <br /> looking for swelling that used to be there. <br /> To my dismay, they sag and droop. <br /> The only thing that could help is prayer. <br /> <br /> I pull in my stomach when ladies are around <br /> and try to look manly and strong. <br /> The truth is, I'm glad when they leave <br /> for I can't hold it in too long. <br /> <br /> My teeth are mine and are original <br /> My ears still need no amplification. <br /> But it does seem like everyone mumbles <br /> and I don't understand all the conversation. <br /> <br /> I wheeze when I run and snore when I sleep. <br /> But I'm still a romantic at heart. <br /> For I know one thing for certain, <br /> if I'm getting older, so is my sweetheart.<br /><br />Ernie Gill<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-birthday-excerpts/
