Best Before Sell By Date (Fun Poem 156)

How many times have we browsed through supermarket shelves looking at each item for the best before sell by date, now let's just stretch our imagination and think of us human beings; what would they put as our best before sell by date? For a man they might put sixty as they go downhill rapidly after that. They need Viagra to boost their libido, the stomach bulges while the rest of the body shrivels. Their heads become billiard balls with no hair there at all. As for the women they might put seventy. The petite figure has gone along with the waist line. Their bumpers once straight now sag so much they begin to look at the floor. Their hair once gold becomes a grey or white mop. Old age when it creeps in and it does it all the time with its lines and bulges makes want to act like we were young, but our stamina is all gone. Along with missing teeth and hair we become well past our best before sell by date. 19 July 2014 (Author's Note: Do not take offence by what I have written as it is done in fun and is not pointed in anyone's direction.
