Colleen’s post today, on The Chatter Blog, entitled Until You Can’t prompted me to write a Rapid Rhyme which I have decided to call (surprise, surprise)……….
Until You Can’t
The will to do
won’t make it so
our own free choice
to come and go
to safely rise
from kneeling down
to smile, to groan,
to grin, to frown
our bodies shrink
our bones will creak
our voices waver
sometimes squeak
determination
helps a lot
we lost our way
and names forgot
we often snooze
whilst others work
then snap awake
when muscles jerk
some were perfect
others sinned
well, damn me
just stood up….
…………………..
broke wind!
I relate to quite a bit of this Peter!!!! Especially that snap awake when muscles jerk ! It is so startling.

Good one, Peter! (The toot!) Oh, and the poem is good, too! 😉 😀
Joy comes from within, that’s why it feels so great to break wind!
HUGS!!! 😀
PS…I snort-laughed! You toot and I’ll snort and maybe we can start a band. ???

HA!!! 🥳
That’s okay. Anyways it would probably be impossible to find someone who can sound like a drum with their burps. And bands need a drummer. 😉

Our bodies sure have a variety of sounds as we age. I laugh when I hear others’ knees make similar noises to my own.
