A bottle of red.......?

bottle of red.

old age number?
tell me, tell me need know,
may approaching fast
see winters snow?

number old begin at?
title thoughtlessly give,
on age of 60
@ 60 i’m beginning live.

eat horse, got one?
, never wrap in cold,
admit wearing thermals
i’ll deny it, reputation uphold.

old doesn’t mean smelly , grey
colour schemes may not match,
that’s house décor or wear
60 something’s still catch.

hole in wall’s taken me pin
, out pops 50 delight,
off round tesco, 3 tenner
1 red? why not, , 2 white.

oops! giving wrong impression?
under 50’s bad example,
missed me brekky morning
making meal of tesco free sample.

lady said, “you not eaten today
on pavement outside?”
nodded, mouth full of free sample
“here! put these in pocket,” cried.

little white nod
nice lady, lovely brunette,
sat on pavement?
old age kinda makes forget.

oh dear! trouble don’t down
done again me heads in spin,
sockless still wearing me slippers
asks i’m wearing them in.

ok deodorant sprays?
been living on beans week,
@ age why embarrassed?
close i’ll pretend mystique.

i’m nearing end of me shopping
through checkout checkout,
did buy that’s needed?
in mind there’s doubt.

can’t wait home, can you?
on pavement see him,
give him me tesco free samples
, dropped him 2 quid in tin.

“thanks mate, been quite today”
“well i’m sorry hear that,” said,
“and tesco freebies mate
go down nice bottle of red.

cheek gave him bottle of red, although spent 2 quid on, don’t wish know.
