Am I the wrong side of sixty?
not slow still terribly nifty,
can still run around
which is why I astound
all the slow coaches coming up fifty.

Still drive my old banger called bertie,
always up on the dot at six thirty,
walk several miles
never had piles
which is why all my friends get shirty.

Have everything that I require,
so decided, I should retire,
bask in the sun,
have plenty of fun,
with a toy boys, to fulfil my desire.

you may consider revising the last stanza along the lines of the folowing

Have everything that I require
so decided, I should retire,
bask in the sun,
have plenty of fun,
with toy boys, to fulfil my desire.

As far as I'm concerned, girls don't even become women until 35/40. So you're still well within your prime Alice! There's another 20 years to go before 'old' sets in... ;o)

A funny poem, particularly 'never had piles' wasn't expecting that. so to speak.

If only I could echo these sentiments Alive - and I'm not 60 yet (almost). Gave me a laugh though, maybe all my ailments will clear up by then so I can enjoy it.

Great fun, thanks for that Alice - reminds me of someone I know except she's the wrong side of 70!
