It seems I’ve grown stupid with age, And I thought I’d be a sage, For things I once new as being true, Has changed with a different view. Things are O K that once were perverse Everything good has gone from bad to worse And I just don’t understand ( or so I’ve been told ) and those that tell me this say I never can I’ve just grown too old. I bought a new rocking chair yesterday A place to sit and watch the world waste away. |

William, I'll set my old rocker next to your new rocker and we can be 'off our rockers' together!  Rock on! Giving you a big, ole country hug 'n a wink, Earth Angel |

Sounds good to me, it's the only kind of rocker I have the energy to be these days. |

I couldn't help but be grabbed by your title. If only I could count the things I thought would never be... My mother always says, "Never say never..." old |

 There is a poetic cadence to the rocking chair that holds my thoughts suspended there~ Waiting for a rocking rhyme to stir my inking well Just one snippet of an idea to spill the ink in swell~ I shall rock until such time as my aged bones seek recline then I will await a breeze that does the rocking for me with ease~ Well ... I thought I saw myself in your title Soooo, rocking with you~ *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

The rocking chairs grow in time and space filling up it's porch, foot by foot with the confused and curious minds all scratching their heads wondering why things turned out this way And then it dawned down like an angelic glow life isn't easy and as simple as pie it's more like an onion layer by layer pealing back one to reveal yet another ~Loved the poem wwshanner. ~Jill |
