A Granny I Might Be

A granny I might be A granny I might be But I can always see My hair is growing grey My shape is quite okay I still love my fashion I guess it’s still my passion I always look quite smart and dressy And very rarely I look messy. I’m older, but I'm still a lassie Sometimes me, I do look classy I would not change a single day Not ever, not in any way. How the years they will turn out Well who knows, I’ll wait that out. Vera Duggan 13 September 2014

Michael my dear friend, I hope you are getting better, thank you for reading this poem, yes I also think us grannies are looking younger these days, I remember when my mum was my age she looked so old, No way do I want to look old like her so I do my best to take care of myself and I do have a very young mind, take care my friend.........Vera............

You got it, Vera. Old age is not for sissies, I always say, but if you ever get old you will still be classy. ;)

Jim thank you so much, I try to keep as young as I can and I have a daughter and daughters in law who keep me young, they don't want a mother who is a dowdy old bag, even my mind is young and I am quite lucky as I have great genes, take care my friend.............Vera...........

Hi Vera! Enjoyed this very much. Nowadays grannies are so busy with looking after grandchildren that they do not have time to get old:)...on the contrary they are kept young and active. Have a nice day and take care. // paul

Hi Paul, thank you so much for taking the time to read, this is one granny that doesn't look after her grandies. they live too far away, mind you we do have one living with us but his mother looks after him and anyway I don't feel old, I try to keep myself young by keeping up with the latest fashions, have a great day and take care my friend.............Vera............

Wish I was Ilene, but I really don't think old, I look at my 96 year old mother and even she doesn't look her age, maybe it is in our genes, sometimes I still feel like I am in my 40's but I know I am not, I just have to look at my brood of grandchildren to know that, thank you for the lovely comment my dear, take care.........Vera...........

- Grannies do not look old today ..... a enjoyable poem to read Vera - (I, grandmother of 4: 17+15+14+10) - Have a lovely weekend! - oxox // Anne-Lise :)

I agree Anne Lise grannies do seem to stay young these days, I think maybe it is the fashions that keep us going because I do love all these young clothes that girls are wearing and the make up that they have out now, not that I wear any, everyone always says that I don't look my age, mind you sometimes I do feel it, my grandies range from 5 to 18 and there are seven of them, thank you for reading my dear and take care.........Vera......
