Kinda funny in my younger years I was told I a brothers butt..then as I got older the butt disappeared and move to the place of the stomach..then lost all the weight where I no longer have a jelly roll. Folks say I look good since I lost the weight. I responded back.."yeah but I lost my ass!"..lol. I do thank you for selecting my work. It is an honor to have my work included with yours. Great job and thanks again.. MKFlood

Hello. I really like your funny poem and see that you have a great sense of humor. Good job on crafting and presentation. I would mention that the word ... taut... is misspelled. Thanks for sharing this fun verse.

MERRY CHRISTMAS POET: I like your posting here in that it expresses the fact that you like you. I've imagine that a person cannot like their life until they dare to like themselves. You have a positive opinion of yourself and you are modest enough to express it in a selfless manner. You just show that you appreciate what God have given you in His giving you, you. Very clever, poet. God bless you. Cordially: rhonnie69.

This poem, Just Lucky I Guess, is one we should all adopt as our personal analy#is of ourselves. It's not fair to be young at heart and mind and trapped in an old body.

This is very well-written, entertaining, and appealing! It resonates with me for--
well, for a number of reasons! LOL! Some os the happiest people ai know have a mirror like this. One thing: "Taught" should be "taut."

Very amusing poetic work. Good flow and rhythm as-well-as rhyming scheme. Love the artwork choice for this theme. I especially liked the first stanza. Author note a hoot! Enjoyed reading this poem.
