GETTING OLDER!
As I'm getting older,
my thirst for knowledge
grows.
Why does the world keep
turning
and who invented
pantie-hose?
Things that never
bothered me
are bothering me now.
Should I still be
eating meat
if I feel sorry for the
cow?
Global warming worries
me
but doesn't stop me
sleeping.
I keep trying to
recycle things
but can't remember
what's for keeping.
Obsessions with my body
parts
take me over without
warning.
My sluggish bowel and
colon
feel the need for
prunes each morning.
Keeping slim is such a
chore
when you're a
chocoholic.
Making love is
cumbersome
if you're too fat to
frolic!
When I go into a shop
nowadays,
the staff look less
than twelve.
Why is the thing you
need the most
perched on the highest
shelf?
I refuse to let my hair
go grey,
and try to keep it
blondish fair.
Fancy a tiger tattooed
on each thigh
if only I would dare.
(and the pain of it
could bear)
Maybe as the years go
by,
I'm slightly batty and
much bolder.
I'll have that tiger on
each thigh
and a cub on either
shoulder.
I could lounge in bed
all day,
play rock music through
the night
Go out without my
knickers on.
Lose my teeth and look
a fright.
But until then I'd
better stay
'Mrs Dependable' and
good.
Rather looking forward
to old age
and not doing things I
should!
