and toss most of it away without courteous replies.
I'll call public radio not caring if I'm known;
express views and comments—my brilliance clearly shown.
I'll read trashy novels and books just for fun;
lounge on my recliner and watch other folks run.
When I'm an old woman, I'll sort my snapshots from years
long gone by;
Date and name those I recognize; at least I will try.
I'll go to the market with curlers in my hair,
not fretting or caring whom I might meet there.
I'll study appliance manuals stashed 16 years in a jar,
figure out speed dialing and set the clock on my vcr.
I'll nag and bug my sons-in-law ignored far too long;
have parties, play bridge and cook shrimp a la de jongue.
I'll counsel my daughters with unasked for advice;
they said "please retire", now they'll pay the price!!
And welcome my grandchild, spoil it rotten;
then return to my home, any duties forgotten.
And yes, my dear husband; I know how he feels;
he'll soon get tender loving care and regular meals.
I'll remind him he promised me winter vacations,
and if he reneges, there will be no more relations.
So friends as I leave you with a very heavy heart;
I leave no advice, you each know your part.
I say good-bye to this body with tears on my face,
and hope that I leave you with dignity and grace."
