The Old Broad Way

They say the neon lights are bright
hate the day but love the night
Dancers flame
Fans acclaim
The show goes on —old broads take flight.

Another really good one my friend. It made me smile. I could see old vaudeville dancers kicking up their heels. I guess the reason us oldies but goodies love the night is because we look better in the dark. lol A 7 from me. God Bless, JB
