A Spare Minute

Description

Someone once asked me why women don't gamble as much as men do, and I gave the common-sensible reply that we don't have as much money. That was a true but incomplete answer. In fact, woman's total instinct for gambling is satisfied by marriage. ~Gloria Steinem~

Get Up and Go

Get Up and Go
by Pete Seeger

Get Up and Go

by Pete Seeger
 
How do I know my youth has been spent:
Because my get-up-and-go, got up and went
But in spite of all that, I'm able to grin
When I think where my get-up-and-go has been

Old age is golden, I've heard it said,
But sometimes I wonder as I go to bed
My ears are in a drawer, my teeth in a cup,
My eyes on a table until I wake up

When I was young my slippers were red
I could kick my heels right over my head
When I grew older my slippers were blue
But I could still dance the whole night thru

Now that I am old my slippers are black
I walk to the corner and puff my way back
The reason I know my youth is spent
My get-up-and-go got up and went

I get up each morning dust off my wits
Pick up the paper and read the "orbits"
If my name is missing, I know I'm not dead
So I eat a good breakfast and go back to bed
Old and wise
