absolutely nothing. it's the one certainty and the one thing thing we're all moving towards. so. if you've done everything you wanted to - well done! although, i hope this hasn't happened yet? (slight concern!!!) roger mcgough wrote a lovely poem called 'let me die a young man's death' and another poem by jenny bond starts: 'when i grow old i shall wear purple with a red hat that doesn;t go and doesn;t suit me'
both poem's sum up the joy and freedom of old age and approaching death with a delicious humour that i celebrate.
i actually hate, loathe and detest poetry usually, however there are one or two that really hit the spot. spike milligam and hillaire belloc, andrew marvell and john donne. aaaah, can;t beat 'em. but you can shove wordworth, tennyson and the like wherever you fancy - preferably somewhere dark and moist [img]smile.gif[/img]
