SHE LOOKS GOOD FOR HER AGE


She looks good for her age,

A group of women agrees,

Shiny painted pinkies fluttering

Alongside frothy cups of cappuccino.

And I wonder who

Has made it through the minefield,

Outrun the canons,

And summitted the hill

Without “letting herself go”,

As we tend to say, usually with a tight-lipped frown,

Tweakment consenting of course.

 

Good for her, I think,

Hoping she lets herself go with enough

Fabulous Abandon

To yell

WHEEEEEEEE

As she skip-sashays all the way

Down

              To

                            The

                                          Bottom.
