Mirror,Mirror
Mirror, mirror on the wall, Do you have to tell it all? Where do you get the glaring light,
To make my clothes look just too tight? I think I’m fine but I can see, you won’t cooperate with me;
The way you let the shadows play, You’d think my hair was getting gray. What’s that, you say?
A double chin? No, that’s the way the light comes in; If you persist in peering so,
You’ll confiscate my facial glow, And then if you’re not hanging straight,
You’ll tell me next I’m gaining weight; I’m really quite upset with you,
For giving this distorted view; I hate you being smug and wise,
Oh, look what’s happened to my thighs! I warn you now, Oh mirrored wall,
Since we’re not on speaking terms at all, If I look like this in my new jeans,
YOU'LL FIND YOURSELF IN SMITHEREENS!

I Used To Hate Purple
It wasn’t my color it gave to my skin an unhealthy pallor.
I wouldn’t wear purple, or scarlet, or pink cus someone might see me - then what would they think?
I used to hate purple, it wasn’t for me it wasn’t appropriate for a lady.
I wouldn’t wear purple, it just wouldn’t do I wouldn’t wear lavender or any other hue.
THEN - I read a poem - a WARNING to all and the RED HAT SOCIETY got on the ball.
I bought a red hat, and a purple tank top and wouldn’t you know it? the world didn’t stop!
Nobody cared what I had on my head and nobody cared what my color choice said!
I found out that purple, in whatever hue had given me freedom that I never knew!
Now I don’t care what others might think I’ve joined with the women who live life on the brink!
We do what we like, and wear what we want! Purple, and red are now colors to flaunt!
I used to hate purple - how silly of me. I took myself and my clothes too seriously.
If I don’t have fun NOW, then when will I start? I’ve spent too much time caring what other’s thought!
I’ll wear my new colors with ‘verve and elan‘! I’ll greet other Red Hatters with a wave of my hand!
We’ll all stand together, the reds and the pinks We’ll not give a damn what other folks think!
The Red Hat Society is far too much fun! And I’m here to say -
I’m PROUD TO BE ONE~

You Go Girl

Senior Citizens Are Valuable
We are more valuable than any of the younger generations:
We have silver in our hair....
We have gold in our teeth....
We have stones in our kidneys....
We have lead in our feet and ....
We are loaded with natural gas....

THE SENILITY PRAYER
Grant me the senility to forget the people
I never liked anyway,
the good fortune to run into the ones I do,
and the eyesight to tell the difference.
