Officially Ancient

Ancient Me

Its official, I am ancient,
There’s no hiding from the fact,
But the person who informed me
Was a little short on tact.

I bought some lovely perfume
In a swanky perfume shop
Where you have to own a fortune
To shop until you drop.

She parcelled up my things and
Put some samples in for free,
When I looked inside I found some
Anti-wrinkle cream for me!

Yes its true, I must accept it
And take it on the chin,
She didn’t mean to hurt me
And growing old is not a sin.

My only consolation,
Is that she, on a whim,
Put some samples in for hubby –
Anti-wrinkle cream for HIM!
