I’m an old guy finding ways to use up each day
so I can get back into bed at night.
I fill the bird feeder, take a painful walk,
spend my pension in inflationary stores.
It’s all the same to me.
I’m killing time, and time is returning the favor.

Ah, Jeeze, Gene…
Hey Gene, you can’t fool us…writing such pithy poetry is keeping you perky!
Oh, wow. Powerful and painful.
Aww, I feel for this old guy…
This other geezer really digs this work.

We kill ourselves by giving up. Time doesn’t. Keep going and you’ll be young forever..:)
It is better than the alternative. Enjoy the birds. Enjoy shopping. Look for beauty in the world 🌎 😍.
Oh, does this resonate! Packs a gentle wallop. Thank you!
The last line is clever.
