Where Did Jerry Go

I haven’t understood a thing I have said
Or done in the last 15 years
I seem to be speaking this language
Called middle age
And nothing in my life has prepared me
For this place I now live
Gray is not a color I would ever chose
For my hair or anything else
Where did the tied died t-shirts disappear to
Whatever happened to Jerry Garcia
Ties and ice cream??
Not the Jerry I knew and loved
My niece went to see Page and Plant in concert
Said they were just a couple of old guys
Playing the guitar
Led Zeppalin has come to this
No wonder I am so confused
Steppenwolf has been replaced by the Bare Naked Ladies
And I came home from shopping last night
With a lavender polyester blouse
And I’m scared to death

As my kids now say to me.. "Dad you just lived in the old age" .. mmm and I guess they are right but boy am I glad I did.

Sue, Oh how so many of us relate! It really is quite scary isn't it? I said something about Steppinwolf one time and all my kids looked at me like I was from another planet! lol
No matter how bad it gets though? I ain't buying no lavender polyester blouse!
(yeah I know...that is some awful grammar!)
Excellent write Sue! Lisa

Led Zeppelin will never be out of style and Jerry will live forever... even in my generation. This is excellent.

Middle age is the age where we reflect on yesterday and begin our journey into day's full of new possibilites. Enjoyed the humor you have expressed here and also understand the frustration of this part of our growth. About the grey.......think of it as your wisdom colours :-) Does this make me really wise? LOL.
