The Growing Old Disgracefully Brigade

 

~*~

 

Dedicated to the permanently young at heart!

Trainee Juvenile Geriatric Delinquent,

Sounds ever so grand and so eloquent!

 

But this is a term I give to the permanently young at heart,

The folks who are growing old disgracefully with fun to impart.

 

The people who refuse, to act their age,

Those who are not true, to their ageing stage.

 

The folks that never seem, to look their age either,

Fighting fit and don't even need to stop, for a breather!

 

Still getting up to mischief, out on escapades,

So extroverted, they need no shades!

 

Going swinging, dogging, to parties and dancing,

Living life to the full, and further enhancing.

 

Still prepared to act the goat,

Go out wearing an outrageous coat.

 

Giving others something, to gossip about,

Growing old disgracefully, without a doubt.

 

Out on motorbikes and still out racing,

Love the buzz with hearts fast pacing.

 

Out in sports cars, wind in their hair,

Still dresses sexily, do they care?!

 

Trying out all the fun of the fair, you bet,

Some party to the snazzy, jet set.

 

The wacky backy parties ,the hippies of yesteryear,

These are the ones who are pretty much, still there.

 

Got all of their marbles up topsides,

No dementia and nothing degenerative hides!

 

These are the folks who like to live on the edge,

Dangerously balancing on life's window ledge!

 

The go getter's, that no know bounds,

The sound of laughter, surround sounds.

 

They still like pop concerts, and all that jazz,

Their lives still full ,of razzmatazz!

 

Doing things of an outrageous nature,

Yet still hoping for something of a future!

 

Dare them to do, just about anything,

They will do, it caution to fling.

 

Still full of life, and the soul of the party,

Even still hippie ,or arty farty!

 

They long to halt ageing, and strive to stay young,

Their sense of adventure, knowingly under-sung.

 

The Growing Old Disgracefully Brigade,

These folks got halting ageism, seriously made!

This is a fun look at the young at heart who get to middle age and suddenly feel that they need to preserve their youth and act the goat toward growing old disgracefully! (Like me)!
