About 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 peoples' 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 pickles 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.

Many thanks Onie ~ I think that poem has a universal appeal... I used to wear purple all the time as a teenager.. may have to start re-stocking my wardrobe for such a time when I feel like wearing it again ~ lol!
cheers, susie

LOL Susie...:))) The Poem is the first thing I thought of looking at the thumbnail... and then to open it up and find that is exactly what you percieved with this photo is soooo great...:)))

That Poem is my Mantra for the years to come... Life is to be lived to we are no more...:))) and then hopefully, our existance is carried through the memories of others with the Poems words ~~GRIN~~...

This is so full of life Susie... Love it for the sheer colour and vibrancy... let alone all the techno stuff like DoF, detail, light etc... ~~GRIN~~...

Heres cheers to *When I Get Old I'll Wear Purple*...

Excellent...:)))

Onie...

Thanks so much Michele ~ this lady was a real character and obviously enjoying herself.. now if she'd worn the 'satin gloves' from the poem it would have been perfect ~ but then her purple ring and finger nails would be hidden ~ LOL! The poem is a favourite of mine... I plan to keep it in mind for later ~ grin :)
cheers, susie

Excellent Susie I love this !!! My Mom is a RED-Hat- Purple Hat Lady too !! She wears purple now - was a Red hat lady - there that makes more sense. I didn't really know there was this poem that went with it...but I love the attitude of which you have captured well with this lady !! She is stunning !! And fits this poem to a T !!!!!!
Looks like it was a wonderufl sunny and successful parade !!!
7/7
Cheers,
Michele ~
