More on Aging or Ageing in UK

aging or ageing (UK)
sometimes graceful, sometimes not
so?

as age creeps up
so does waistline
no matter how fought

new glasses seeing well
well, better anyway
no more 20/15

taste and smell senses gone
food blah dogs have no odor
maybe I need a shower?

if only I could
run fast like before, but
the legs go first

what little hair remains
is gray
no, silver

years in the desert sun
face creased like Grand Canyon
me, "weathered" not old

years ago hiking
up and down the hills
now, down only

dance the night away
whew
tiring

naps restore my mind
so please don't mind
my afternoon silences

hearing well
but
sometimes not listening
