Bill

There was an old fella called Bill,
Who joined dating sites for a thrill,
But he failed to impress
Anything in a dress:
At ninety he’s over the hill.

For Scott’s Hill contest

Jack mate, I thought this might be you. What fun. Even though you did not place in the top three, I'd like to Tweet a link anyway, if I may?

Ha-ha! What a unique approach to the Hill contest. If Bill still needs companionship, send him my way. Older gentlemen are always welcome in my house. Best wishes in the contest, dear! Love, carolyn

This made me smile, didn't expect that last line, Jack-- hmm who knows? He might still attract somebody? Nice to hear from you, we're relatively well, thank you and also, thanks for dropping by with your kind words and I hope all is well with you!

hey, now THAT was original. Using that expression over the hill. You are SO clever, my friend. I am already over the hill, so he had to be over the MOUNTAIN.

Ole' Bill needs a pill to recapture the thrill. So the girls will still treat him with kindness. Cause you know what they say. If you do it yourself, it can sure end up leading to blindness. :)
