Haiku Heights











with age comes wisdom
a totally pointless gift
coming far too late



excercise and laughs
get yourself an old boyfriend
they are good dancers



some are still lookers
they improve with age like wine
younger chicks want them




she looks quite good now
but we all get old and grey
the tattoos will stay

    We must encourage these features of 'old age' now, before we grow too old to enjoy them!

    Lovely picture of Queen Liz, btw.

    Question: if an obese tattooed person slims down, what becomes of their tattoo? And, what if a slim tattooed person becomes obsess? These are risks worth contemplating.

      Joke: When does a tattoo disappear?

      Question: What happens to a waddle Doddle duck who persists in annoying his volatile Aussie sheila friend ?

    Growing old gracefully. The Queen is a living example. Nicely written Rallentanda.

    Men surely do mellow well like wine, what with all that gift of wisdom gathered, even though a bit to late in life :P!! And I dislike purple!!

    In Europe the old, the crazy and the religious are afforded legal protection. Handled properly, this gives great scope for a fun filled adventure in one's later years. With it comes the privilege of being affectionately referred to as: "a grumpy, old fashioned, reactionary" by one's friends, family and work colleagues. One can get away with so much!

    Now, where do all these "younger chicks" hang out waiting for aging wise avian trouble makers?
