Was it a sneer? It's a lovely hat. Maybe the lady was so old she had a droopy face and just looked like that? Maybe she had a moustache too? That's an old lady thing, but maybe 'she' was actually a man! They say stoopid things like that more often than old ladies!! But you are right; us old birds can just squawk out anything that comes into our noodles. (I love the rhyming of noodle with doodle)

It was a stretch, but I think it worked. Toodle!
Comment from Louise Michelle
This was cute and fun to read, but I really don't think folks should think that old age gives them license to disregard the feelings of others. Like we teach our children, maybe the old folks need to be retaught, LOL. Hugs, Lou

Well, I hope not! I've been looking forward to this Life Perk for DECADES now!! You young whippersnapper! You keep your opinion to yourself!
Comment from Roxanna Andrews
Very well done and a funny true story beside. People can be so rude, but I always consider who they are and did they really mean to be rude, or are they the type who always puts their foot in their mouth. I know a few like that. I hope you do very well in the contest. Rox

You're so right, Rox. You can look for a fight all day long if you don't take that into consideration!! Thanks for the terrific review.

Mystery writer, your poem has good rhythm, good rhyme and reads very smoothly. Yes, it is true that once you reach a certain age, do you feel parish to say whatever comes to mind. Unfortunately, I started this process at an early age. I wish you luck in the contest. Best wishes.

HAHAAHAH! Then you're my hero! I love the people who say what they think and just let the chips fall where they may. Thanks for the way-fun review.
-
It was my pleasure and you are most welcome. I should've edited my review a little better. I see a word that may have been misconstrued. I think "Parrish" was supposed to be "free". Take care.

I know an Autocorrect when I see one, so your message got across just fine. (Is that the worst invention ever, or what?!!)
-
It's only the worst invention ever, if you don't edit after using autocorrect.
-
Good point. But, still, I resent having to edit something I typed in correctly initially,
Comment from LIJ Red
That does not look much like macaroni, stuck in the hat...my mom did not like to go anywhere with her mom, who had opinions and voiced them aloud. Excellent old lady poem!

Comment from 24chas
You're exactly right, unknown writer. Old people, particularly older ladies, tend to say exactly what they want and damn the consequences. This was very funny and I bet you looked at her askance when she said that. Good job and good luck in the contest.

a short poem.

to being an "old lady!"

Comment from Ja Majal
This is a really cute and fun poem! Old lady you say? You aren't old you are at the blossom of your youth :-), ... I enjoyed the subtle rhyming of the last word of each stanza! It gave it a nice flow.

I'm not the old lady, Jamal; I was talking about the woman who said that to me. (Besides, I've read that "old" is fifteen years more than whatever our current age is. So that way, we'll NEVER be 'old' to ourselves!!) Thanks for the fun review.

Comment from Michael Ludwinder
This is a cute poem. I like how you used dialogue at the end - really brought the words to life. It's funny and enjoyable and a great read. Well done.
