When I am old and grey
I would like to endlessly play
I would like to be a pirate of sorts
with no intention of being a spare part
I'm going to be as garish as I like
ride to the supermarket on my motor bike

When I am old and grey
No one will tell me what to do or say
I will have privilidges beyond my wildest dreams
be allowed to run into the library and holler and scream
I will make it my mission to shock
and will listen to music of rock


When I am old and grey
I would be forgetful whenever I choose
I will wear dirty odd sized shoes
I vow to have countless handbags
get dressed up in my finery of gaudy rags
I'd pinch the bums of young men
and repeat myself again and again

When I am old and grey
I would sit in a corner and dribble
pee in my pants without a quibble
I'd sit on the bus and sing tunelessly
rock back and forth in my seat gleefully
I would tie my hair up in bunches
and eat toffee, the sort that crunches

When I am old and grey
On walls my name I will spray
I will tell the story of my life
how I was a good mother and dutiful wife
But this I promise faithfully
I never said I would grow old gracefully
so for now I will make my plans
then I will know what to do when old age lands!

This pertains to women I know but somehow I think us guys can fit in here somewhere. Not that I would want to pee my pants, maybe pinch the buns of some cutie....WAIT....WAIT....I didn't say that. lol.
But I can dress as I please and get away with it. hehe

Bonny this is an excellent piece. Thanks much for sharing.

Grey

And in the time when grey unfolds
colors brighter, I am told
will be worn and laced with purple
we will surely get our eyes full
about that pinch or was it cupping
we will do it without stopping
the mind would never be the waste
we'll take breathing with our pace
when will learning cease or stop?
What was that question, I forgot.
Subject grey or growing up
when it happens, should we stop?
