Fantastic, Tremendous This Aging Business
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Never in my wildest dreams,
Did I suspect to expect...
Aging to be fantastic and tremendous,
As I am discovering it is.
I can speak my mind,
Without anyone feeling offended.
Since people believe I have earned the right,
To say what I please.
Morning, noon or night.
So wonderful the feeling.
Saying what I mean to get off my chest.
Even in public.
No one considers me rude.
Just someone older to ignore but respect.
Although,
I have not tried cussing yet.
I have not practiced enough,
To make it sound...
As if it comes naturally to me.
However...
When listening to today's young people?
It seems as if they have earned,
Master degrees.
They are very creative and professional at it.
No bull manure, aw shucks or hockey puck!
