Old Age And Goof-ups
19 May, 2004
Author: Barbara Goodhew
Old age is like goof-ups,
Both are unwanted.
With old age we get senile.
With goof-ups we feel senile.
The difference is with old age we get better.
When we goof-up things don't get better.

Meridian (205.188.116.200) -- Wednesday, May 19 2004, 12:50 am You see me laughin don't ya barb? I haven't reached the "old age" stage yet, but it must be wonderful to sit back and say "ahhhh, this is the life".... That's when you can relax, and say I've worked in the vineyard while I was young, now that I've grown a few gray hairs, from so many children, I can enjoy this life in contentment, instead of in agony and bewilderment! Well said Barb G!!! Smiles Meridian |

Clive (63.184.96.158,) -- Wednesday, May 19 2004, 03:49 pm I alway heard that getting old was fun, Well I'll tell ya it ain't all it's cracked up to be. The old bone start ristricting your movements and so on. But still I can smile laugh and have fun thats what its all about. Good Poem Barb (how True) |

Martin Vann (4.244.174.75) -- Wednesday, May 19 2004, 07:49 pm Barb, There you go again making small of things like, Violins, Great wine, and delicious cheese, you are so sly, making age, sound like a crime. Hey, old girl, how about an hour, shared with me. We can listen, to the sweetest music ever played on an old violin, drink premium wine, you know, its flavor, only comes with time. We can taste, the sweetest cheese, flavored and full of life, expensive, because it takes time to cure. Barb, you crack me up with wisdom, that is so pure, guess, that comes with time, the best in life, that we can share, takes time. MartinV |
