Face facts:
I'm old.
Used-up.
Washed-out.
Youthful parlez
is wasted on me -
my ears do not hear
the same sounds
any more.
The eyes,
sagging,
struggle to see.
Who stole the
youth juice
from out of my veins?
My engine putt-putt's
in its wake.
How come I'm at a standstill
aged just thirty-two?!
WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME FOR FUCK'S SAKE?

You're growing old, but not doing enough fun stuff to ignore the signs perhaps.
At least my blow up doll scrubs up well with some Mr. Sheen and a puncture repair kit.

Listen up, chillun!
You are YOUNG!! Thirty-ish is a phantastic time. Eat, drink, laugh, dance, screw and be merry. You have everything - sufficient wisdom to appear wise to the appealingly younger, sufficient youth to appeal to them; you are at the sexual-intellectual-emotional-spiritual meridian: relish and indulge! I still feel seventeen, but increasingly have a face like a wrung-out dish-cloth. You lovely, lucky people are nowhere near that stage; save the angst for later. Take it from one who knows, because he blew it.
Love & Mercy & Understanding,
Ol' Mike

Ol' Mike - sorry...didn't mean it to turn out as a kick-in-the-teeth for all those older than me...I feel suitably humbled!
Rave on Mikey...

I'm not THAT old! But we all get the blues......also, you can feel 'old' at any age. Rave, rant, rage, be righteous and write, write, write, with all of your might!
L & M,
Mike(y)
