Shenanigans

I watch in awe the common sins
Shenanigans of manikins.
Preciosity of staging
The comedy of aging.

While old dress for the younger hook
The younger press the older look.
And clowns appear center page
To do their acts upon the stage.

Doing is of sound and fury
Played before a public jury.
See me now and never then
So help me God and amen.

The whimsy makes me near to dizzy
The madness of the busy tizzy.
And though I frown and slight the fray
I the clown, seek Eden way.

So weather young or weather old.
Your ego is the center fold.

Oh, this reminds me, I need to go shopping. Two weddings coming up!
Now what were you saying about looking young?
Delightful poem, Sy
See you at the mall

Seymour...
          I had to giggle reading this.
          There's a store where I live
          that poses manikins in some
          rather odd positions!! They
          were asked to stop recently,
          as the city thought the tourists
             might become offended!!!
               Thank you for this--
                 it made my day!!

I have only one goal
in life..
It Is:
To have more than
one goal in
Life!!

Elizabeth,
Have fun shopping and thanks for the delight. Love Sy

Corinne,
Delightful comment. *L*

Doreen,
Shenanigans a good word, Thanks. *L*

Sunshine,
Ego's center fold has nothing to do with sagging or wrinkles. It's a whole other cathartic LOL. *L*
