Life Is Fun <br /> <br /> <br />The young scream and shout <br />They’ve got it all figured out <br />They know everything there is to know. <br />They think parents are dumb <br />No respect for Dad and Mum <br />Gran’s cuckoo and Grandpa’s all show. <br /> <br />As you get older <br />More burdens you shoulder <br />Keep a job and raise your family; <br />But at last you can rest <br />And now comes the test <br />Are you a sweet Great-grandma like me? <br /> <br />Yes? <br />Naaah! <br /> <br />I am bellicose Belle <br />And I’m riding to Hell <br />On my steed that is waiting outside. <br />I’ll beg steal or borrow <br />And bugger tomorrow <br />Jump behind me if you want a ride. <br /> <br />When you’ve passed 65 <br />It’s fun being alive <br />You can get away with so many things <br />You can look meek and quiet <br />When you’ve just caused a riot <br />It’s surprising what experience brings. <br /> <br />I’ve bought a big motor-bike <br />And do just as I like <br />Come on Grannies, just grab your lids. <br />We’ll go to the town <br />Get a pint or two down <br />And we’ll terrorise all those bloody kids.<br /><br />Irene C S ClarkHogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/life-is-fun/
