Hi Geoff, yeah, don't we all suffer from it. When I entered my thirties I had to go once a night and it's been like that ever since. So nothing new there. I loved your fun poem. Ulla:)))

    Glad you liked it. I have one more of these pewy poems to get up again as soon as the funny money allows. Thanks again. Might stay an extra month this time.

I could certainly relate to your poem--my husband and I usually have to get up twice during the night. I enjoyed your rhymes and information about the adder. Smiles- Joan

    Thanks Joan glad you related. I appreciate the "Depends" these days as well. Not sure I told you I am on Monthly on and off here these days.

A very well-written poem about the bladder that can be filled too quick and we need to empty it always at the most inconvenient time. When we cavour drinking too much liquid we are getting other problems.

    Thanks Sis, not wrong. These days even when I think I have emptied I have to wait as there's MORE! A flow problem the Urologist gave an option for treatment I may have written about in my rambles. Waiting is the best treatment and drug-free. Lord Bless. I am on Monthly on and off in here now.

That is funny, Geoff. It's interesting that the bladder has nerves that connect to the brain and can communicate even in our dreams so if you need to go, you will know!

    YES! And sadly these days same with the bowels. I cannot put off going when the nerves tell the brain it is time. Thanks for coming by.

Haven't we all experienced this? I chuckled at the way you brought the subject up and how you handled it. It's the little things that can drive us mad!

LOL

I'm glad you can make fun of yourself, Geoff.. That's the only way we can survive gracefully as we age.
My doctor advised me not to wait until I have to go. He said I should just go every couple of hours. That would take away the sense of urgency.

Stay safe and blessed

Julia

    Thanks Julia that is probably a good suggestion. I am thankful these days for "Depends" I think they are called in America but we do have that brand here now too.

I know what you mean. I have that kind of bladder as well. I never get a whole night's sleep. You poems make me smile. How long does something stay and pay when your revise a post. I have some I'd like to revise.

At times like these, a sense of humour helps. Old age ain't for sissies, as they say. I have to carefully consider what my plans are for the day before taking my diuretics!

    Exactly right. Thankfully My Aged Care is funding my "Depends" or "Tena" Men's undies these days. Thanks for coming by old mate. I am on Monthly on and off now. Just have to remember to turn off auto-renew each time!

This is a fun frolicking poem, you two. Isn't aging just so fun? I enjoyed this so much and the good belly laugh. I love to poke fun at myself too. Sending you my best today as always,
Sal XOs...xo...
PS~ I've had to go back through my portfolio and repost picture after picture from FanArt. I rarely use them anymore because of this. What a colossal bummer!

    Yeah what a pain I have lost a lot of the FanArt stuff I used I think people leave and take their pictures with them. These are all oldies from before we met I think. How long have you been in FS? I joined 7 years ago.

A fun write and bladders need a lot of trainers for them to function well and of course they get weaker as we get older! Love the play on words and the alliteration here, you amused me, love Dolly x
