Sea Of Laughter
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

In the sea of laughter, watch them sail,
Seniors aging without a boat's mainstay.
No oars to steer their playful trail,
Yet gracefully they bob and sway.

With each wrinkle upon their face,
They float through life no matter the place.
Humor their compass, mischief their guide,
These seniors navigate with joy as their tide.

Proclaiming with gusto, "We're ageless, not worse!"

Each day a new adventure, nowhere to hide.
So let it melt away, this sweet escapade,
For in laughter and mischief, we'll never fade.

Sixty-Five
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

Sixty-five, oh what an age, ripe as a vintage wine,
Now a part of the sage crowd, though still feeling fine.
Does this number tag me senior? What an amusing notion,
Am I now slower, wiser or deserving of some promotion?

Promos at diners and theatres, certainly a win,
But does my youth really hide behind that subtle grin?
Stay young at heart they counsel; seniors we may be,
But in the mirror looking back is a soul forever free!

Funny 65th Birthday Poems

As A Senior
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

As a senior, oh the joy it brings,
Deft cards dealt from life’s dealing rings.
Discounts often, and wisdom too,
But forget what's in my to-do queue.

Teeth in a jar, hair growing thin,
Yet no more battles with the spin.
Joints may creak, the memory blurs,
Still dancing to that oldie My Way by Sinatras.

Stories To Engage
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

In vibrant youth, we embark on life's quest,
With vigor fueling our eager behest.
Through winding paths and uncharted shores,
We gather treasures in abundant scores.

Through summer’s bloom and autumn's decline,
Our memories grow like cherished vintage wine.
Tread softly now upon this well-worn stage,
Where seniors dwell, with stories to engage.
