the benefits of old age?
uh!
hold on
I'm thinking
give me a minute
uh!
the benefits of age
um!

with his eccentricities
I guess that's pretty much the same
as saying
"I don't give a shit"
that's about it
can't think of anything else
don't want to
who cares, anyway?

Made me laugh!

though I know it has a serious side - My parents worked until they were in their early eighties and they are still fully functioning! Lol. So I guess quality of life has a large part to play.

Thanks for the giggle

Love Mand xxxxx

Lovely Shirl

thank you very much. You know, I read your work, just don't comment very often.
I hope you are as happy and delightful as your "online" presence is. You are a charmer.

respectfully
