the prompt is PURSE I played with it a bit, five stanzas of 9/9/6/6/9 limerick fun.

this dang growing old is such a curse
can’t remember where I set my purse
so much to think about
stop, you don’t need to shout
you act like I’m ready for a hearse

what used to be so easy to do
it’s not what it was tying my shoe
my toes are where they were
balance makes me unsure
but you act like I don’t have a clue

this dang growing old is such a curse
can’t remember where I set my purse
so much to think about
stop, you don’t need to shout
you act like I’m ready for a hearse

Oh dear, what are you glaring at now
you look like you’ve swallowed a dang cow
oops I forget my teeth
I need glue underneath
I needed more time than you allow

this dang growing old is such a curse
can’t remember where I set my purse
so much to think about
stop, you don’t need to shout
you act like I’m ready for a hearse
