Today is Poetic Thursday hosted by our pals Teddy and Angel Sammy
Today's photo prompt is
When we were young and spry,
through the tulips we tiptoed with **Tiny Tim.
through the tulips we tiptoed with **Tiny Tim.
Now that we are old we try
to keep our feet flat on the ground.
We hold on to each other,
balance with our umbrellas or canes
when traipsing thru the rain.
**in case you don't know this song click
Love the poem. Well done to all those who are no longer 'young and spry' but go out walking in the rain regardless!
ReplyDeleteCheers, Gail.
agreed... an umbrella makes a good balance stick LOL
ReplyDeleteIt is good to still be able to find the fun things in life!
ReplyDeleteHari Om
ReplyDeleteSweet! (A scene with which I am all too familiar...) YAM xx
Love your poem and it's so true!
ReplyDeleteNot so sure about rainy-day walkabouts anymore ... think "listening under a tin roofed home" might be more pleasant!
ReplyDeleteNah! Dem dames is stompin' in the puddles!
ReplyDeleteGood poem. OMG. T.T. is one scary dude, that voice is crazy.
ReplyDeleteI need these old gals to come walk Beau, he is NOT happy that Nicole has rescheduled his walk about. Not bad here, been raining all night which we need and the winds have a gust here and there that is a little scary, but nothing worse than summer storms.. so far. it appears to be pulling rapidly away from us and I hope so.
ReplyDeleteLove the graphic, but to me, the old gals are playing in the rain puddles.
ReplyDeleteThey're young at heart
Jumping puddles at the start.
Splashing support hose
And having fun...
Giggling and stomping like a trio of does.
What a great poem for that cute picture. Our mom says she remembers Tiny Tim and his tulips.
ReplyDeleteAs I always say, "getting old sucks!" But you have to keep your sense of humor!
