Granny Glasses
original watercolor portrait: 8" x 10"
what ho!
i’m gonna say this
gettin’ older is so
not tops on my list
seems there are some peeps
pollyannas and such
who’ll tell you how sweet
it is, that’s a bunch
of crap, oh ‘tis true
there are a few perks
please don’t misconstrue
we work out, not work
and nap after noon
there’s grandies to keep
that’s work that we seek
it helps keep us fit
and quick on our feet
but losses do come
that’s harsh, and a fact
‘though dismissed by some,
i’ve got much less tact
so try if you can
to put off old age
‘cause footloose it seems
ain’t quite fancy free
