I think I am going through some of these

Warning
When I am an old woman I shall wear purple ( or dye my hair purple)
With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me. ( Barbour with flowers on)
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves ( bring on the brandy
And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.( pink wellies)
I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired (yep)
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells ( brill )
And run my stick along the public railings ( havent got a stick)
And make up for the sobriety of my youth. ( that passed me by whats sobriety)
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain (yep)
And pick flowers in other people's gardens ( maybe not)
You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat ( erm yes)
And eat three pounds of sausages at a go
Or only bread and pickle for a week ( could do)
And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes.
But now we must have clothes that keep us dry ( dog people so thats a yes)
And pay our rent and not swear in the street (oops)
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? ( this is true)
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.

Re: Warning
I love that poem, Glenys. I have got it in a frame in my bathroom and am successfully carrying out most of the lines contained therein!!
Love,
