I am sure somebody posted a while back about birthdays and age creeping on. It was not mm related just an observation. Thought some of you may like this

~ Will I Have To Be Sexy At Sixty? ~

Will I have to be sexy at sixty?
Will I have to keep trying so hard?
Well I'm just going to slump,
With my dowager's hump
And watch myself turn into lard.

I'm not going to keep exercising,
I'm not going to take HRT,
If a toy boy enquires
I'll say, "Hah! Hard luck squire!
Where were you in 73…?"

I'm not going to shave my moustaches,
I'm just going to let them all sprout,
My chins'll be double
All covered in stubble,
I'm going to become an Old Trout!

My beauty all gone and forgotten,
Vanished with never a quibble,
I'll sit here and just
Kind of gnaw at a crust
And squint at the telly, and dribble.

As my marbles get steadily fewer,
Must I battle to keep my allure?
Have I still got to pout
Now my teeth have come out
And my husband has found pastures newer?

Farewell to the fad and the fashion,
Farewell to the young and the free!
My passion's expired,
At bedtime… I'm TIRED!
Sexy and sixty? Not me!. . .

Hey, now that made me really smile. I was going to show the wife but she just might recognise me so I thought better of it!!!!

Hi David

I wish I could remember who wrote it (Pam Ayres maybe?) Bit of fun anyway. It's nice to post about other stuff sometimes

Hi Gill, Yes I agree it is nice to post in the "off topic". I think it makes to the site more interesting and human. 🙂

Off to Teignmouth today, my family live in that area. we are gong to have a formal family photograph taken (before Dad/Granddad pops his clogs I think – he he 😀 )

Kindest regards

It is so nice to be right sometimes. Found my copy of the poem "sexy at 60" and it is Pam Ayres
