RED HAT STUFF
|
|
(With Right hand on brim of hat)
I do solemenly swear,
On my Red Hat,
That I will do my best to uphold
The spirit of the Red Hat Society.
I promise to greet middle age with humor
And take my silliness seriously.
I promise to regularly practice
Laughing and having fun.
I promise to wear my proper attire at all functions.
I promise to eat dessert before my meals, if I want to.
I promise to dispel the notion a woman my age is OLD!
Younger Days
When I was in my younger days, I weighed a few pounds less.
I needn't hold my tummy in to wear a belted dress.
But now that I am older, I've set my body free:
There's the comfort of elastic where once my waist would be.
Inventors of those high-heeled shoes my feet have not forgiven.
I have to wear a nine now, but used to wear a seven.
And how about those pantyhose..They're sized by weight, you see.
So how come when I put them on the crotch is at my knee?
I need to wear these glasses as the print's been getting smaller;
And it wasn't very long ago, I know that I was taller.
Though my hair has turned to gray and my skin no longer fits,
On the inside, I'm the same old me, its the outside that's changed a bit.

RED HATTERS CREED
I will not walk softly, but I will carry a big stick.
I will laugh hard, loud, and often I will have fun, and play hard.
I will put all work and responsibilities off until tomorrow.
I will take time to smell the flowers.
I will never use the following words: "diet", "exercise", "fat", "guilt", "careful", "slow", "quiet", "rules", "laws", "boundaries", or "limits".
I will never say "Shhhhhhhh".
I will flaunt my red hat and purple dress.
I will not always endure the restraints of underwear.
I will eat chocolate excessively and unyieldingly.
I will learn to indulge myself in both familiar and unfamiliar ways and will encourage Red Hat
behavior.
WHEN I AM AN OLD LADY
WHEN I'M AN OLD LADY
When I'm an old lady, I'll live with my kids, And make them so happy, just as they did. I want to pay back all the joy they've provided, Returning each deed. Oh, they'll be so excited.
When I'm an old lady and live with my kids.
I'll write on the wall with reds, whites and blues, And bounce on the furniture wearing my shoes. I'll drink from the carton and then leave it out. I'll stuff all the toilets, and oh, how they'll shout.
When I'm an old lady and live with my kids.
When they're on the phone and just out of reach, I'll get into things like sugar and bleach. Oh, they'll snap their fingers and then shake their head, And when that is done, I'll hide under the bed.
When I'm an old lady and live with my kids.
When they cook dinner and call me to meals, I'll not eat my green beans or salads congealed. I'll gag on my okra, spill milk on the table, And when they get angry, run fast as I'm able.
When I'm an old lady and live with my kids.
I'll sit close to the TV, through the channels I'll click, I'll cross both my eyes to see if they stick. I'll take off my socks and throw one away, And play in the mud until the end of the day.
When I'm an old lady and live with my kids.
And later in bed, I'll lay back and sigh, And thank God in prayer and then close my eyes, And my kids will look down with a smile slowly creeping, And say with a groan. "She's so sweet when she's sleeping!"
When I'm an old lady and live with my kids.
