Warning - When I Am an Old Woman I Shall Wear Purple
By Jenny Joseph

When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple
with a red hat that doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
and satin candles, and say we've no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I am tired
and gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
and run my stick along the public railings
and make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
and pick the flowers in other people's gardens
and learn to spit.

You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat
and eat three pounds of sausages at a go
or only bread and pickles for a week
and hoard pens and pencils and beer nuts and things in boxes.

But now we must have clothes that keep us dry
and pay our rent and not swear in the street
and set a good example for the children.
We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.
But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.

The family resemblance is uncanny.

I'm seeing the resemblance! Wow!

[Argh]

Medusa? The junior senator would not turn me, for one, into anything resembling stone...:^)

Boooooo!!! :-)

I think that this particular purple bear is extremely cool. She looks good in purple!

Here's a new pic of our gal!

By the way, thanks for the tip! I'm so embarassed right now that I am turning even more purple than the polar bear!

[wazoo1031]

Umm, not to mention my spelling...

[Charles Henrickson]

Hey, that's all right! This site's got mispellings misspelings typos out the wazoo.

[wazoo1031]

Funny, "Wazoo" is actually the name of my cat, who is pink in color...she actually is kind of a weird flesh color...but her name came from her kittenhood when she "waz a pain out the wazoo"...colored animals are so fun! Can one actually BE threatened by a purple polar bear? How about a Great Pink shark? Does not have the same threatening connotation does it? A turquoise Rhino? A fuscia-back gorilla?

[Charles Henrickson]

. . . colored animals. . . .

Please. "Animals of color."

[wazoo1031]

Dear God, Please forgive my racist error in political incorrectness! I meant to say "sub-Saharan-African-continent-dwelling" Oh, Dear, what is to become of me? :>}

[Charles Henrickson]

You must dye!

[wazoo1031]

I concur, I will now dyeth a multi-coloreth death, with many colors, such as purple, blue and red... WOW! kind of like uday and qusay...but not really because I am not a brutal murderer-rapist, nor am I the daughter of a DICKtator! I do spread love...
