Sixty five, impeccable,
She shops while dressed to kill,
Sharp jacket, matching cutoff pants,
She’s old but stylish still.
Her hands are finely manicured,
Well pedicured her feet,
Her clothing is immaculate,
Clean and pressed and neat.
Her hair is very simply dressed
No hair is out of place,
It’s natural grey colour
Matches her ageing face.
Cosmetics are used lightly
Further to enhance
This well presented lady’s
Style and elegance.
I wonder as I watch her fill
Designer shopping bags
Why some, like her, age gracefully,
While some become old hags?
