What are senior citizens worth?

Did you know that we old folk are worth a fortune? We have silver in our hair, gold in our teeth, stones in our kidneys, lead in our feet and gas in our stomachs.

I have become older since I last saw you and a few changes have come into my life. Frankly I have become a frivolous woman!!! I am seeing six gentlemen every day!

As soon as I wake up, WILL POWER helps me out of bed, then I go see JIMMY RIDDLE, then it’s time for breakfast with MR KELLOGG, followed by the refreshing company of MR TETLEY, or of my other friend who I only know by his initials PG.
Then comes someone I don’t like at all, ARTHUR ITIS, he is not welcome, but he insists on being here and what is more, he stays the rest of the day. Even then, he does not like to stay in one place, so he takes me from joint to joint.
After such a hectic day, I am glad to go to bed (and with JOHNNY WALKER too) WHAT A LIFE.
Oh yes, I am now flirting with AL ZHEIMER.
The vicar came to see me the other day and said that at my age I should be thinking of the hereafter, so I told him I did all the time. For no matter where I am, the bedroom, the kitchen, sitting room, or the garden, I ask myself, now what am I here after?

Well, I will close now and hope that WILL POWER is your constant companion too, but do make sure that his friend EMMA ROYD does not creep up on you from behind and watch out for the crafty GERRY ATRIC

That's really funny, Prof - I thought it was a question on 'Ask'

senior citizens are worth a lot.

i know they are a pain at times, but we have to listen to them while they are still around. they have the experiences that you cant always get to hear about in books. you can learn a lot.

i know we joke about them when they say...'in my day......'

but with the way the world is going now, they had it a lot better, despite everything. wars, poverty etc etc.


sorry prof. i know its a silly thread, but i had to say it

helen,there's nothing to be sorry about love, I also agree with you.

value's,respect,manners, to name a few-all missing now

i just didnt want to spoil a 'silly' thread with something too serious

ha! ask me if I'm bothered

I agree Animal...
Only one I've not met yet is EMMA ROYD.... Don't want to either, heard she's a right pain in the backside...

Today was my 40th birthday, so I'm officially closer to being an old dude than a kid now.

Currently worth next to nothing, I'll be interested to see if I gain in value as I get older
