A for Adventure!

As we age, time speeds up fast;

Now skilled in almost every task

That we, perforce, must carry out

We know, we think, what life’s about!

 

We’ve done that, been there, T-shirt bought

Lived life to the full, been fraught;

But that was then and this now

What untried furrow can I plough?

 

Our grey cells – deadened by routine

Make life dull (know what I mean?)

Where’s the excitement? Vistas new?

Let’s push a locked door and walk through!

 

What keeps us going as we age

Is flipping over virgin page;

It’s certain we shall get our kicks

With foreign travel in the mix!

 

Or, take up hobbies, long neglected

And with old friends be connected;

Excitement is the golden key

What lies in crystal ball for me?
