They Have No Idea of Me

Ballerina envy in a rhino’s body
I toast one high, drinking up my toddy.
Others probably think I was always old like this.
I give them a wink and blow them a kiss.

They are horrified, seeing an old crone sitting here.
Having no idea that I was once young, sexy and dear.
I smack my lips and make loud sounds of the crazy.
At least when I get carted off, they can’t call me lazy.

Both hilarious and true Caren, although the fountain of youth remains in your young mind, you certainly will never be called lazy, cheers David
