Sixty Is Sexy (Draft)

Sixty is sexy –
       Not in a young
           Flaunt-your-body,
       Sway-your-hips.
            Pout-your-lips
Kind of way –

But – 

In the sassy-
confident- lustrous-way 
you know how to follow your heart’s desire,

In the beautiful-
smooth-luscious-way
you express your passion for people,

In the perky-
tender-joyous-way
you embrace and make love with life everyday.
