I don’t to be an old lady
Even when I am old
All my aches and pains
And times at night when my feet
get hot and cold

please proceed with caution
when you wander
through this poem
it is for mature audiences
so close your eyes and scroll
Warning issued, I warned you
You have been told

The times when my beloved says
things aren’t like or where they used to be
Could be true,
but you only see what you want to see

I don’t want to be sad in the morning when
I slide out of bed
I don’t want to be an old lady
Even if it comes before I am dead

Why are looking at me like that?
No, I did not steal this pen

Where’d I get it?

From a sister of a friend

Why are you looking at me like that?

Okay, I will put that dress back
And get the one you think looks
better
like this one in brown…
oh, you are shaking your head and giving
me that frown…well how about this one in black
Yes, I am putting the other one back.

Why are you looking at me like that?

The car ? Is is close enough to the curb?
Yes, is room enough for the other cars to pass
Ummm you are really getting on my last nerve.

I feeel I am being herded into the looney bin
soooo now can we go home to your father so
I can be made more crazy by him?

You know I love going out with you
Is the reason why you make me crazy
It is because you love me very much?

Oh thank you ….I thought you had lost your touch!
