When we get to the ripe old age of 80 plus Our memory can deceive us without much fuss Remember diddley squat Frustrates me a lot Oh to be young and virile with charm surplus

Ah, if only 80 were the new 40 then 70 would be 50 - no, that's not right, 70 is the new 30? Oh, I don't feel that young, yet. In any case, I've always gone for older men, so keep me in your dreams, Jack and I'll look for new poems from your store.

I'd say Thank you for posting only one poem a day... But Three made Dragon Giggle until he was left in Hickups! Actually, you should go back to three. we're missing his entertaining blasts of fun. It was never dull. Besides we need to have more hickup action, to teach all the new comers in our Menagerie how to use the fire extinguishers! We gave up morning fire extinguisher lessons at the local schools. The local fire fighters found Dragons explosive giggles perfect to teach fire fighting 101.

PS... Dragon says if you're worried about being charming, he says you can borrow his Super Hero Cape... He says it gets not only the girls chasing him... But also every one else... But he says to beware the pitch forks... Actually I should tell you... it's not his Cape but how he gets in trouble when he puts it on. That brings every one a running! Including the fire Department... His memory tends to be a bit confused too... LOL!
