Having Fun While Aging

Let;s all get together.

While aging I am still trying
to expand my horizons...
and having more fun than ever while doing so.
All I want to do is have some fun
while I still have time under the sun.
However...
at times it is not that easy
to find older folks who want to do the same.
That, to me, is a shame. 
So...
I have decided to get my jollies
by delving into this matter.
Herewith are some findings.
I ask people one question.
"Would you mind... if I ask... what you do... to have fun?"
It is an obligating question...
and I remain silent and listen after asking.
The responses are as varied as the people I talk to.
Some answer with a quick one word...
"Yes"..."No"... "Fish"..."Hmmm".... "Nothing."
Others offer brief answers...
"You can ask"... "Not at all"..."Are you asking me?"
"Not as much as I used to"... "Oh! I don't know."
So as not to belabor the topic
let me just say there is a whole catalog
of things people do for amusement.
If you want to have some fun...
just ask your friends the same question.
Then just listen.
People love to talk about themselves.
My favorite response
came from a gal who actually said to me...
"What do you have in mind?"
Ouch!!!
C'mon everybody...
let's get together now...
and have some fun.

Fun is sharing things with a special friend. Being alone is OK sometimes because it's fun to laugh at ourselves too! Happy Thanksgiving to YOU! Ha! I can see you smile. Funny!

As I read, that famous song by the Young Bloods, "Come on people now… Everybody get together…" And also Cyndi Lauper's, "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun." From that last line or two, it looks like you found one. ;-)

You have a unique way of writing a story or article (?) In a poem… Cool.

What do I do for fun? It's too X-rated for little old AD to stomach. ;-)

Enjoyed your write John

I am having fun too even while recovering from open heart surgery

Teasing my grand children on what not to do while showing them

What I referred to as my zipper (scar), only 2 years I started doing Tai Chi

Something I should have done long ago...... Enjoying it emansly

Started writing at 55....... Peace be with you

I have fun every day, then I go to sleep and the next morning I awake and start having fun again. It's called living, John.
