That was so cute! Here is another nice one about aging..I want to be her someday...When I Am An Old Woman..
I shall wear purple with a red hat which doesn’t go and doesn’t suit me. And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves And satin sandals, and say we’ve no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I’m tired and gobble up Samples in shops and press alarm bells and run my stick along the Public railings..and make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain and pick the flowers in other People’s gardens..and learn to spit.
I will be able to grow more fat and eat three pounds of sausages at a go.
Or only bread and pickles for a week,.And hoard pens and pencils and Beermats, and things in boxes.
Maybe I ought to practice a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
When suddenly I am old, and start to wear
~Purple.~ |
