Notes About The Poem

Pangie the Pole Dancer



Dreamt of being a pole dancer!
Now aged, not a good prancer! 

Pen and white paper are for me.
A soft chair and warm, minted tea.

No sexy thing is this old body!
A red rollator is now my hobby

I hope I never have to use a red rollator. Remembering when I was young I love to dance up on the bleachers at school..

Well, falls are common Eve in the elderly. So, would you rather be stuck in a wheelchair or have the ability to walk? Rollators are not ugly. Nor are canes. My best friend had a stroke and a tumor on the brain…..my cousin who posted here died from brain cancer.. see..all things are relative. If one has a good heart, like you…you will be grateful to walk. Many people have missing limbs or minds,.God loves everyone.. Eveb dancers planning to live to 100 and now using a rollator,)

With age, comes changes to our body. Leaving aside our wild ambitions and getting adjusted to our present state is the best way to enjoy life. Hope you can move about without a rollator. Wish you health and happiness, dear Pangie.

Hi Valsa, this was meant to be humorous, of course, I get around! But I danced till I was sixty thee every weekend! I began dancing at age 7.Toe, ballet and ethnic dancing from all countries. Your body lets you know, you cannot do it anymore, I broke me left leg two years ago. A severe break!five months of therapy to. walk again. Grateful I can walk. Pangie

You are Mr, HILARIOUS! I don’t know how Pole dancers do that! That cartoon reminded me of myself. Tee Hee. It really is great not to take oneself so seriously. I did enjoy being a Belly Dancer, oh that name, “Faiza,” the Turkish Delight” I enjoyed all my nicknames” . Each tells a story. Pangie You are the only one here, who knows them..Pangie xx

Is pole dancing a sport in Antarctica? Sounds strenuous. Careful, Young Lady. :o)

No, it’s a nightclub dance by a woman scantily clad, young and athletic. Not for me, Arlo. The cartoon gave me the idea for the poem. Hope you have a good week! Pangie. Xx

Pole dancing will certainly keep the aged fit, if one can wrap their legs round a pole that is… Belle :)

OMG, Anne Lise,, what a concept,,,, the Bingo and ministers are in nursing homes or rehab centers. Yarg. Anything, even simple line dancing would be cool I already did time in a rehab center after I broke my hip..7 tears ago. I wanted out ASAP. Glad I live in my own home, a blessing. Pangie xxx
