Old Appeal

Folder: 
Invisible Poetry

.

Young people want it

they crave it like kisses

and sighs. It has wrinkles

surrounding it, under its

eyes, and around the ankles,

but they want it.

.

Old appeal is like sex appeal

without the sex. It is renamed odd

things like know-how, wisdom,

and knowledge turning 

into experience. You have to be old

to get it.

.

Young men desire the mental

capacity to make a million

dollars. Old people could,

but are not interested. Too

exhausting.

.

Young women want to know

how best to handle a man

and how to keep him beside

her. It takes time. It is learned

later.

.

Old appeal owners know

how but it is heart attack or 

stroke producing. Heavy

breathing leads to high blood

pressure or clogged

veins.

.

Some who have elderness

appeal might wish to trade it

in for a head full of non-grayed

hair, a slimmer  waist, better

vision, teeth.

.

Youths remember how hard

it was to find and keep a mate. 

They learn that wanting

what the old know means nothing

because, in time, they will age

and own it.

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "

A LMAO Kinda Riot

Untill you've had it with a Black Belt...no what I mean is, have you ever seen a guy blow up a condom like a baloon? Me neither - ha and ha. - What i mean is, if you are looking at the Reaper on the SOA leather and going Wow, that's the tip off that you are over the top with choices. ~Laugh here or smile, but do not take that last one seriously ~A~

This post was just too good Respected Madam Allets

This post was just too good Respected Madam Allets.... A few days back I was invited for a wedding anniversary of a young couple.The hubby asked me if I had a xxx coin for which a fabulous sum of money was offered. I seriously appeared to ponder & told them that I had seen such a coin but didn't possess one. I wondered even if I had it what good was such a huge sum of money to me at 60+ .It would simply add to my woes & people would "oil" me for a few wads. And sex ?? oh well... some men take aphrodiasacs and "sex pills" to show their youthful vigour... I see those people with dyed hair and "smart" attire. The rose will dry.. such is the rule of nature...Your write was a hilarious one .. made me guffaw out loud.

Much Honorable Gafawer

You make me happy to have made you gafaw out loud - Bish, you ae a miracle. i did not realize you were 60+. You could teach kids how to be young. Stay strong.

 

As the petals fall

from my rose

I lean sunward

hoping nature will

send me strength

enough to tell the world

that the stalk may

lean earthward, but

it is still mostly green.
