Going Senile! Peekaboo!

You know you are losing it
When you realize in a sudden fit
You don't want to turn Twenty-four
Is only because it's such a bore
Unlike Twenty-three, which at least is a prime
Breakable, factorable, Twenty-four is a slime!
And as you warm up to "just one short, not quite there"
You'll be 'the overrated Twenty-five' in no time
And you'll broadcast it to dismissive people
With yet another silly post, a crappy rhyme!

Living up to Expectations*

The loud, piercing voice, showering traces of spit under the hood of a hollow dark shadow, declared over his head, 

“What? You don’t even know the spelling of 

E.M.B.A.R.R.A.S.S.M.E.N.T?”

That's when the descent started really. From then on, the voices, now more of hissing and hushing, have been making sure he never misses that spelling again.

‘Life is a roller coaster ride’ they had said, but he wonders why, for him, the rickety ride up was always pleasurable and never the descent.  

*quite an oxymoron, isn't it?
