does anyone else know the poem
When I am old I shall wear purple?
Warning poem
When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm 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 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 pickle for a week
And hoard pens and pencils and beermats 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 practise a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.
Jenny Joseph
I first heard about that last summer and I couldn’t agree more!
I'm Level 51....but if anyone knows how to "Level DOWN", I'm listening.
I'm doing my best to delay everything that comes with leveling up......
If you receive any info on how to level down, I would greatly appreciate anything you are willing to share.
Love it.
If you think of aging as simply time to prepare for a ninja warrior race, you'll do when you're 80, that's how you give old age the finger.
Levels? Yes. Level your opponents (all bastards who refer to you as an old person).
That's the spirit!
Can we do levels for how old you feel? I'd b like 100. AKA old fart.
We're not getting older -- we're ascending to higher levels!
Great!! I'm LVL 65.10. I use to refer to it as chronologically moving forward, I just can not say that 3 letter word.
