Another Trophy

If we make it through December
(and we always have before),
we can hang another trophy
on the wall.

But think, as we grow older,
that our youth is in decline
and our faculties decay--
does that appal?

Yes, summer wine's gone sour
and winter's next in line,
but we can make it past December--
if we crawl.

    I thought I commented on this already. I like it very much, especially the last line. Thanks for entering.

    Very well put together, and with a very appropriate message as we approach the excesses of December. A touch of the Thomas Hardy, I think.

    Great stuff. I have to admit to being very much able to relate to this one.

    Summer wine's gone sour and, even it hadn't, I can drink as much of it any more.

    jjj
