into the Winds Watercolors by Bertie Brown

into the Winds

original watercolor cityscape with woodwinds: 10" x 14"

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
