An Old Man's Sensory Lament

Getting Old Ain't For The Faint Of Heart

By Joel Kravitz The Limerick GuyPublished about a year ago 1 min read

I still think that my tastebuds work well,

But I can’t smell so I can’t really tell.

I don't hear very much.

I guess I'm losing my touch...

And my eyesight is all shot to hell!
