NOSTALGIA SURE AIN’T WHAT IT USED TO BE

Many a man, like me, would choose
to bridge the gap between
the thrill of electrifying play,
and much of what comes later.

To graze both knees again
shinning the apple tree;
or having to eat your greens -
spinach, and you Popeye, yeuch.

Experiences cannot be undone,
with time acquire crass rose tints.
The while, you fret, saw away at life,
at being adult; please take me back !

Alan McAlpine Douglas

(Challenge words : choose bridge electrify
play graze apple green undo rose fret)

Alan,
As life's challenges continue to wear us out, we all wish we could go back in time to when our world was smaller and less hostile. Climbing trees were far easier than the financial and political mountains we have to climb today.
