The New Me

So now what, where do I go from here I'm wandering around feeling a bit weird People that I know don't know how to act Thinking my spirits has finally cracked Not so, I welcome this new change of scene I'm drinking more coffee, it's becoming routine It's similar to finally stopping to smoke After forty long years for fear that I'll croak Well wish me luck, I need your support Hope I don't go weird and begin to cavort Wearing lots of makeup and leather that rocks Playing air guitar with long flowing locks If that starts to happen, I'll revert to the funnies Hopping around like a pregnant bunny Hang on a minute, I think that was funning Well sneaky old me, how utterly cunning © Jack Ellison 2015

The new me keeps showing up in my mirror... Right next to a cute baby Dragon... A Crafty Grandpa Troll... and this cute young thing that calls me Wiffy Poo. Why doesn't Hubby get any older? Is this a guy thing? My Dad looked young... They kept telling my Mom she could bring her kids in with her... One of them was my DAD!Think they're about to do it with me, too... If they do... I'll get a lot of fun saying... 'Hurry up Young un'... Guys always HATE when their wimen do that to them... LOL
