Hi Cedar,
This is a witty self deprecating senryu about how dumb you think you are. Though if you can safely do woodwork, you can't be that dumb.
Yes this is an overused adage.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Have a great rest of the day.

P S I would like you to know I recently published my first book titled, "The Interloper and other stories in prose and poetry". It is available on Amazon.com. I have provided a link to it at the end of my profile bio. I could not have done this without the help and encouragement of my fellow FanStorians.

I'm sure this isn't true of the author! But a neatly expressed self-image of some 80 year olds I'm sure. Fluent and well presented with humour too. Ticks all the boxes for me. Good luck! Debbie

    Thank you Debbie for your excellent review, I appreciate it. Sadly, this is nearly 100% true. I don't think I am any smarter then I was when I was 50...LOL

    Have a great weekend, my friend...

This made me laugh. You have done exactly what the task asked in a fun way while making fun of yourself. I'm with you on this one. My six year old is more adult than me at times!

With age comes wisdom but only if you are open to receiving it. Your Senryu is well written. Thanks for sharing. Wishing you the best for the contest.

I think we all feel this way from time to time. Excellent theme for a poem about the aging process. We all make mistakes and continue to learn in life even when we get older.
