Know a sweet lady who was once a nurse In a home for retired folks A perfect personality to take care of the aged Such tender caring she evokes Her sweet loving nature is a perfect match They must have really adored her A tender loving soul with a heart of gold A one-in-a-million type girl Honoured by her friendship and dear sweet love Fortunate to have met this charmer Would sure love to spend a couple of evenings Talking, some nights in the parlour Hearing sweet tales bout these elderly dears Their long and interesting lives Tales of a joy with their dear loving families Loving husbands and dear sweet wives For some, their memories are all they have left Abandoned, forgotten and alone Such a sad and unfortunate way to end a life Golden years can be overblown So if you have folks tucked away in a home Please visit these precious dears One day you'll also be thankful of those visits Talking about your bygone years © Jack Ellison 2014

Dragon wanted to visit old folks after I read this... But the neighbors wouldn't let him in their doors. Wise people! He's such a klutz! Heaven forbid if he sat on anyone!. The 20 year olds down the street were charmed by him thinking they were old and gave him a cookie. But OLD Mr. Pickle got huffy and slammed the door when Dragon called him old! Poor Dragon! So he decided to spend time with me instead... To a young Dragon everyone looks old... and small! Snicker! Sorry Couldn't help myself!
