How Old Are You?
How Old Are You?
How old are you my dear friend?
Old as the woman I touch
Said Groucho Marx when questioned
I like this answer much
How old are you my friend asked?
I said older than you
But not as old as that man
With no teeth left to chew
Our age? How vague we try and be
When people ask, and delve
We want to hide, embarrassed
And keep it to ourselves

Hi Don!
Up to last year I had no probs about my (considerable) age, and never told lies about it, but now I have changed my mindset a little, as if people don't know you, but find out how ancient you are, they tend to write you off automatically. I overheard a friend saying to someone 'she may be ....., but she's very good company!!!
