The sledding hill was crowded
And
I thought, as I walked by,
How
expressions can mean different things,
Which
age can magnify.
For
when someone says of sledders,
“They
are going downhill fast,”
That
same statement, for a senior,
Does
a darker shadow cast.
And
the same applies to “tubing,”
Which
my grandkids just enjoyed –
Quite
a contrast to the post-op tubes
Which
have got my spouse annoyed.
