Giggles For Age Hiders

Deceptive Griselda is not so fair
She conceals her real age, will not declare
     On the Net she croons love’s tunes
     To make all the young men swoon
A fantasyland like hers is so rare
 
The secrets that she always locks within
Mysterious as the Shroud of Turin
     ‘Twould be easier to gauge
     The much-debated shroud’s age
Than guess the date of photos she's seen in

Wherever she goes, she carries laptops
Sexy blog posts from nursing home rooftops
     Delusional minds deceive
     Some catch on, some still believe
But at 87; her figure’s flopped

This had to be a winner, Carolyn. My congratulations on your fantastic win in John's Limerick contest with this fascinating piece of work!! Griselda needs to relax and know that real beauty if it's within, comes with age. Much love, Audrey

This is really funny! I can just see Griselda posting her "sexy blogs" from rooftops of a nursinghome.

Hey, you're as old as you feel. I know people like this =), even worse, I know people who pretend to be opposite sexes online. What a wicked thing they do.

Seems to me that Fred Astaire and Ginger did a routine to Dancing in the Dark a way back in the 1940s. I may be wrong. Love, Dave
