Poem Artwork


When I'm old,
even older than Methuselah,
I shall celebrate with a song -
I'll sing "neener, neener, neeners,"
'cause I made it another year.
I'm gon' dance with ever'one here
at the nursing home--gon' kick up
my heels as far as they will go -
they ain't gon' be no lyin' 'round
feelin' sorry for myself--you'll
see me toddlin' on my walker,
leadin' the gang in a tango,
sippin' on a margarita,
an' havin' me a good ole time.
That's if I ever get  old.
My body tells me I'm agin',
there's more aches and pains than they was,
but as much fun as I'm havin',
I don't anticipate that will
happen for a VERY long time.

(c) 2005, Karla Dorman.

To ALL who have their dancing shoes on today, may I add my love and very best wishes for a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY and with many, many more to come. To all you Smarties Who Party, thank you for giving us reason to smile and be glad of your fine writing gifts EVERY day of the year. Your pic reminds me of the poem by Jenny Joseph (??) "When I am old, I shall wear purple and run my walking stick along all the railings"... kinda idea! Knowing you, Karla - you will be CHAINING yourself to railings, calling for peace and justice - good on ya! Birthday hugs and kisses... and a poem...!! :)) LOL Kate xx

Go get 'em, me girl....sweep the rest of life off its feet, as you've done with so many of us!

Your poem? Well, there's upbeat, and then there's UPBEAT!!! The dialect suits you and you do it well. Age is a number... you got the mind and heart of a kid, something I admire. (grin) I'm a bit of a juvenile delinquent meself. hehe... Most wondrous birthday wishes, dear heart! (don't miss my silly tribute... how's that for self-promotion? ha!) love, katy xox
