It's the Wrong Address (2)
Don't call me "Ma'am"
it just isn't right.
I know down here in the south,
parents have raised their children to be polite.
It makes me feel old,
and that just isn't me.
Save your Ma'ams for some other old person,
I am only 53.
And now realize one can put collector plates on a 2000 model. ARGH! I am 70. Don't feel it, think it. Others don't believe it. But, have to face the fact..like dad told me on my birthdays..remember..no pig gets that old.
Sometimes though I wish people did realize my age and give me a bit of concessions;why am I expected to take care of YOU! Where is my help?
Old used to look like Granny Clampet or Pa Kettle. Age doesn't get respect unless you are the Queen. Now the old are still the care takers and care givers. Expected to keep working to death cause the young won't. Am I happy to still function..yep. But, would be nice if someone pampered ME for a change. Didn't I earn it YET?
