A Little Poem ~Cheers To all Elders!!

We must all enjoy whenever we can before it is too late !

Another year has passed and we're all a little older.
Last summer felt hotter and winter seems much colder.

There was a time not long ago when life was quite a blast.
Now I fully understand about 'Living in the Past'

We used to go to weddings, football games and lunches.
Now we go to funeral homes, and after-funeral brunches.

We used to have hangovers, from parties that were gay.
Now we suffer body aches and wile the night away.

We used to go out dining, and couldn't get our fill.
Now we ask for doggie bags,come home and take a pill.

We used to often travel to places near and far.
Now we get sore asses from riding in the car.

We used to go to nightclubs and drink a little booze.
Now we stay home at night and watch the evening news.

That, my friend is how life is, and now my tale is told.
So, enjoy each day and live it up... before you're too damned old!

"The true dancing girl, who has a great aptitude for such matters, and years of experience, is a marvel to behold, for she seems always different, subtle and surprising. Some of these girls, interestingly, are not even particularly beautiful, though in the dance they become so."

"When you are fifty, you're neither young nor old; you're just uninteresting. When you are sixty, and still dancing, you become something of a curiosity. And hey! if you hit seventy, and can still get a foot off the ground, you're phenomenal!"
