    Warning
    by Jenny Joseph


    WHEN I AM AN OLD WOMAN I SHALL WEAR PURPLE

    With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.
    And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
    And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.
    I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired
    And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
    And run my stick along the public railings
    And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
    I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
    And pick the flowers in other people's gardens
    And learn to spit


    You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat
    And eat three pounds of sausages at a go
    Or only bread and pickle for a week


    And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes
    But now we must have clothes that keep us dry
    And pay our rent and not swear in the street
    And set a good example for the children.
    We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.


    But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
    So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
    When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.

  • Music and purple in this one for Diva

    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

  • I didn't know Diva, however she was quite obviously a very special person, so just wanted to add my sympathies that she has gone. My condolences to all who knew her and were touched by her x RIP x

    So sorry to hear this sad news.
    Diva's purple posts were one (of many) things that made this thread so welcoming when I first joined.
