Unbirthday- Not Such a Bad Idea
Wonderland Poetry Prompt Challenge Day 27
Let’s go backwards in time,
Melting away the years that have been,
The memories are all mine,
I know where I’ve been.
But now my body and mind are in decline,
So now I say with a cheeky grin,
To unbirthday? Now seems like a good time.
Go back a few years and start again.
Till next time,
Calvin

The Light Turns
It's Tuesday 7:13 a.m. A cold and clear November morning awaits Ray on his morning commute. Ray rubs his hands together in the front seat of his Subaru. He turns the air temperature up, but keeps the air on low until the air warms up. He looks at the backup camera screen and reverses the Subaru out of his driveway onto Trimble Road.

I love large numbers but can never keep track accurately, so I’m not bothered at all by my age, nor anyone else’s 😆.
Good one, Calvin. I could use an unbirthday or two.
Going back in time but keeping all the memories, all the learning, all the experiences? That sounds fantastic! :D But does it smaller cake? I don’t like that part.
Great idea for some! Thank you. Women used to never tell their age when I was growing up. And some chose to stay 39, like Jack Benny. I could care less and I'm not sure why. Actually, I get compliments regularly when someone hears my age. "I would have guessed 50". Then, I say that my daughter is 50. My brother looks young too as my daughter was mistaken for being his sister. My daughter says I will have to dye my hair grey or white to look my age. I'm not doing that. I don't act my age, why would I want to look it! 😉😂😂
I will join you on this one . My grandchildren laugh so much when they ask how old are you Nan ? I tell them erm 38 they say yeh ok ha ha today I am 32 🤷🏼♂️
