She taunts the old man, It haunts the old man, She does it because she can. Stopping to flirt In her mini-skirt Coming by out of her way, It’s just another bit of play For her. The door stays closed today, Thoughts return to this old man. If I were younger Sigh, But I’m decades older Sigh. |

Boy or boy, do I ever relate to THIS one, graying1. Still, that is why I go to the mall so often, to observe the pretties. Can't wait until spring. ~ Some people are like a Slinky -- not really good for anything -- but you still can't help but smile when you shove them down the stairs. ~ |

What a great little snap shot. There is a gal where I work who is 22 and gorgeous, with her jet black hair and perfect figure. She eats reeses pieces all day and never gains a pound. The kind of gal you want to hate, but gawd I love her, she is truly one of sweetest young ladies I've ever met. Hmmm, I think I remember being that age...wait???? Welcome to the blue sea, graying1. Glad to see you jumping in and making a splash. Such a fun, poem!!! |

And just what do you think graying old ladies want to watch, hey? Me? I'd prefer a graying old man who still had a twinkle for ... knowledge. But, that's me! |

I am pleased so at so many responses And somewhat overwhelmed I’ve never been good with words, numbers are more my thing. Jerry, I don’t go to the mall much Not really a people person, but when I do the spring time is best For the watching Belle, your enjoyment is mine Lori, not dead, but not chasing either Not sure I want to catch anyone I would prefer gentle conversation Faith, Thank you, I am trying Blue, Not sure how sweet she is, haven’t talked much to her I find myself tongue-tied, which she probably finds amusing Sunshine, you sound like my type of gal (hope you don’t mind that term) Books are my main friend these days Now that I am dogless. Thanks again to all you responders |
