Good poem Firecat.
I don't use those expensive creams, Nivia is as good any day.
Anyhow, I intend to grow old disgracefully...........More Fun!!

I'm with Firecrest on facecreams, Firecat. Laughing

I'm definitely going to grow old when I feel like doing so. And disgracefully too.

A few beauty hints...I find wet and dry sandpaper a good alternative to the expensive exfoliating emoluments exonerated by plastic people.

And vegetable oil is a rather good substitute for body moisturing cream. Just don't get too close to the chip pan when you're cooking.

As for the face turning to mush...just scrape your hair back from your face as tight as possible and tie it up. Voila, instant face lift.

Pah, who needs beauty editors when you have the lemur handing out these tips for free?

I think we all look at this age thing wrong. The grey hairs on my head have been earned by nights of worrying and the lines on my face by concentrated effort.

My slightly less than perfect body is in no worse shape than when I was young. It has always been imperfect. My sense of humour and good nature is as perfect as ever Shocked

no, no, whatever made me say that?

The real problem with age is not how one looks. It is the total inability to keep one's mouth shut. But perhaps that's because I have not yet reached the age when I should know better.

All of this has nothing to do with this excellent poem which inspired the above rant! Thank you Laughing

Great poem, am in complete agreement with you!

Thankyou, Ladies all, for your kind reviews, and I do intend to answer them properly, it's just that I feel so tired at this time of year!
Maybe I could write a poem about that, if I had the energy... Confused
