Nice to be growing old gracefully
It's a breeze to be allowed priority

Seats offered taken with a smile
Abundance of presents on the lap piled
Would they really bother if we were senile
Not on your life for we accepted them in style
(44 words)

For Bjorn's Quardrille 10 at d'Verse
and to include the word  'breeze'

  3. Wonderful sentiment Hank. Growing older has it's advantages but sad to say also disadvantages, but it's how one handles those disadvantages that is the secret.

  8. I so wonder if that priority is really given... maybe it's a set of disappointments.

  9. There are definitely some pluses to getting older, though I'm not sure that there is as much courtesy toward the elder as there used to be. Now, I AM sounding old. Finally got a quadrille up:

  10. I hope some respect remains for the elderly. I feel like I'm getting closer to finding out. I love your charming lady up there..so many stories in those eyes.

  13. Let's hope we can all age gracefully, and be treated with due respect even if we don't.
