IS THIS THE RIGHT SIZE?



IS THIS THE RIGHT SIZE?

I am gingerly trying to slip into my new age…
Of (gag) 83.
It arrives, without any frills,
In fifteen days.

BUT--
“It’s too BIG, too LARGE, too MUCH!
Please, can’t I have something
 smaller, younger, prettier, fresher?”

This EIGHTIES PLUS garment
belongs to wrinkled, doddering, feeble
people who can barely
Talk or Move 
or Think or Feel 
or Care.

Not for many years from now
(If ever) 
I’m not going to “fight it”
Because “it” will not be real.

I’m not budging!
Whew, now I can go out and party!
