Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Old People Magazine Please

I used to love People Magazine
Which may be why I am still getting it
Delivered to my house thirty years later

I stare at the strangers on the cover
Flip through pages about people I do not know
I want a specialized magazine

We will call it Old People Magazine
It will feature people I know
Cher, Tina Turner, Eddie Murphy

But if we named it Old People Magazine
Would I be the only subscriber?
Probably.

Better name it
Sassy Seasoned Stars
or Crones and Codgers

Robert Kinard January 1, 2020 at 9:17 AM Ok, Caren you can sign me up! If I can write the Old Poetry Corner. Caren Krutsinger January 1, 2020 at 11:21 AM Yes you can. I would appreciate it.

Ilene Bauer December 31, 2019 at 1:16 PM Ha! This cracked me up, Caren, because the last time I looked at People magazine (probably in a doctor's waiting room), I didn't know who anyone was. I'd be interested in your Old People's Magazine for sure! Caren Krutsinger December 31, 2019 at 1:20 PM I truly think there would be enough interest for it. Let's make this magazine together, Ilene.
