Jots and Tittles and other Random Things

Age is a number

Dancing like I just don't care
Freedom in movement
Expression is sublime
Until I twist my back

When did I get so old
All I want to do is cry
After all of this
I just want to take a nap

I wrote this for the weekend prompt for Express It in Eight.
Two of the prompts for the weekend: Dance, take a nap


Age is really just a number, with some numbers being larger than others. I don't mind the numbers, as I'm not exactly over the hill , but I'm no spring chicken, either . What bothers me more than anything are those darn "Check Engine" lights that seem to go off, with no warranty or warning This summer is a prime example. I complained to my mom (the "manufacturer") All I got told was, "Tough" What about my warranties? Granted, she will be 79 next month, so I guess I have to just roll with it.
