Month: August 2015

First come the little

“Smile” lines by the eyes.

After a while, lines deepen

And are followed by brow furrows,

Complemented with “marionette” lines

On each side of the mouth.

(I swear that is what those in the know

Are calling them!)

Our first defense consists of lotions

And creams that we literally slather

On our skin; most of these products

Don’t do much, or live up to our expectations.

I personally will attest to this; however,

I continue to try the latest and greatest

Hoping for a mini-miracle or at least

Some hint of positive progress.

I guess I’ll settle for preventive maintenance

I.E. try to stay where I’m at,

Rather than trying to reverse the

Hands of time on the ‘wrinkle clock’.

We certainly need to smile more;

Nothing looks better on us.

Let’s work on keeping our chins up

Even if we have to pull ’em up and tie them there!
