I'm Not Old ... Just
Mature
Today at the chemist, the clerk was a gent.
>From my purchase this chap took off 10 percent.
I asked for the cause of a lesser amount;
And he answered, "Because of the Seniors
Discount."
I went to McDonald's for a burger and fries;
And there, once again, got quite a surprise.
The
clerk poured some coffee which he handed to me.
He said, "For you seniors, the coffee is free."
Understand -- I'm not old -- I'm merely mature;
But some things are changing, temporarily, I'm
sure.
The newspaper print gets smaller each day,
And people speak softer -- can't hear what they
say.
My teeth are my own (I have the receipt),
and my glasses identify people I meet.
Oh, I've slowed down a bit ... not a lot, I am sure.
You see, I'm not old ... I'm only mature.
The gold in my hair has been bleached by the
sun.
You should see all the damage that chlorine has
done.
Washing my hair has turned it all white,
But don't call it gray ... saying "blond" is just
right.
My car is all paid for ... not a nickel is owed.
Yet a kid yells, "Old duffer ... get off of the road!"
My car has no scratches ... not even a dent.
Still I get all that guff from a punk who's "Hell
bent."
My friends all get older ... much faster than me.
They seem much more wrinkled, from what I can
see.
I've got "character lines," not wrinkles ... for sure,
But don't call me old ... just call me mature.
The steps in the houses they're building today
Are so high that they take ... your breath all away;
And the streets are much steeper than 10 years
ago.
That should explain why my walking is slow.
But I'm keeping up on what's hip and what's new,
And I think I can still dance a mean boogaloo.
I'm still in the running ... in this I'm secure,
I'm not really old ... I'm only mature.

Easy way to remember Mothers' Day
- Forget it once! - |

(Seen in an optometrist's window)
Gift Ideas
and some suggestions
only learned from
experience.
YOU ARE
DEAD MEAT If you even dream of buying your
mother / wife / partner / significant other a kitchen
appliance or any other form of tool that can assist with
the daily joy and rapture of housekeeping.
This
day is for personal
meaningful things and remember - it doesn't stop at a
bunch of chrysanthemums - A bunch of chryssies will
be dead in a week so make the flowers part a pot
plant or a tree or a shrub....something that will keep
living. Check out the nurseries on the websites (click
on the town names at the top of the page) - most
can arrange delivery.
But wait - there is
more to
do.
Take the time to browse the shops for that
special something that she will cherish. There are gift
shops, ladies wear etc on the town websites that are
only too happy to
help you with your choices.
So to all the
wonderful mothers out there
HAPPY MOTHERS' DAY

The acquisition of new skills isn't something
that we leave to the youngsters. Many of our
apprentice seniors and full blown card carrying oldies
have developed contemporary skills such as
'MULTI-TASKING'
This is
when we're able to
laugh, cough, sneeze, fart and
pee
all at the
same
time.

Beaumont Hills and is a keen underwater

Climate winemakers have developed a new wine
glass to slow down the rate of return to the bar for a
refill. Winos wine buffs can lay back with what
is becoming known as the
'All Day Sucker' (ADS)
Coming soon to a winery near you.
I have taken out a world wide patent on this mirror -
send me buckets of money & you can rent one for
a week.
Some Pics From
The Pet Expo
Solly & Ruthy were snuggled up in
bed.
Ruthy
gives Solly a dig in the ribs with her elbow and
says'
"Solly, vill ya get up and shut it the vinder - its
cold outside."
Solly says,"Ruthy my little
patooshka,
if I get up and shut the vinder, its gonna be warm
outside?"
I no longer need dope to get high.
I can get
exactly the same sensation from standing up
quickly.
