Bladders, Old and Young
How marvelous!
The bladder – young,
Strong and taut
as yet, unstrung.
Impossible!
the bladder – old,
Stressed from birthing
long ago.
It drips and dribbles,
outright leaks,
Stealing deep and
restful sleep.
It’s not enough,
I’m sad to say,
That aging bladders
droop and stray.
Aging breasts
are just as bad!
For, as youth dims
breasts sway and sag.
