Defying the Season...
Look at these gloriousTulips…
Just for me…
Not the usual chrysanthemums
For November birthdays,
But Spring’s promise
Just for me...
Gifted by my grandson Lucas
In honour of my own day.
They’re blooming…
Opening up bigger each day.
And I am so proud
Of their seasonal defiance…
Because I’m old now
And I like to think
I’m blooming
Ever wilder each day.
...
Like Sara Millican says,
It's a privilege to get old
Because not everybody
Gets the chance.
And I don’t just mean
People we’ve lost,
I also mean people
Like Madonna…
It’s NSFW, but some of you
Might enjoy watching her here.
I also love her Zuri dress.
I’m guessing she doesn’t
Have to do
Her own ironing.
...
So…
I’m blooming wilder
And joyously
Letting myself go…
Even
More.
...
If this isn't nice, what is?
~ Kurt Vonnegut, of course
