I remember Elsie saying, "I give up, I ain't no skinny-minnie." That was 15 years ago and she still looks the same--not fat, just pleasingly plump. Then, we all go south sometime.

Air bubbles in the tub are one of the few pleasures afforded us in our decline, lol! You are seriously demented, Tinka, lol, but I can relate(to my horror). Ah what would we do without you, sis? Wish I could have caught this yesterday as I needed the chuckles...

Love, Lin

Thanks Tink for the grins!

Ahhh, what a great and royal spoof of an ode to the endless and questionable joys of aging. The right to laugh at one's well-earned gastric leaks and foibles beyond the age of fifty is not to be compromised. Great great poem:-)

If this wasn't so darned true, it would be hysterical, Tinka. There is a way to keep your boobs up high, just give them a tuck then roll 'em up and plop them in your bra...I remember when "tuck and roll" was a kind of upholstery job for the seats in your car...LOL Clever write, Tinka and a whole lot of fun.
Take care,
