Age: The Lottery Ticket


Yet another shake-up on Jenny Matlock's Saturday Centus meme. (Getting to be a tricky little devil, isn't she?) This time, we've got 25 words plus the three-word prompt, which is (as always) in red.

Age: The Lottery Ticket

Bladders tinkle.
Jugs don't jive.
Stomachs sinkle.
Derrieres dive.
Both lips shrink, while
skintags thrive.
Crow's feet crinkle.
Man alive!
The powerball? Age 25.

    Yes, age is a lottery ticket, because we all age differently.
    You tackled this difficult assignment well!
    Thank you so much for visiting my micro-fiction.
    Best wishes,

    Man, Sue, You really nailed this getting older thing! And you did it in such a clever, I would say masterful way. I always love your posts. Always good writing from you, no junk from Sue.

    Love the music and the poem. It's as if I just went for a fun ride at an amusement park (at age 25).
    Thanks Sue.
