Everyone has aches and pains
When
getting older; who complains
Depends,
at times, on who refrains
From
doing all the kvetching.*
For
any sympathy one gains
May
dwindle if attention wanes
With
every detail one explains,
The
story always stretching.
Each
bemoaning thus unchains
Annoyance
as one’s patience drains
Although
what hopefully remains
Is
empathy worth fetching.
*Yiddish
word for complaining
