#1 – Pessimist
Walking the old beat.
Promised never to return.
Age shifts your viewpoint.
#2 – Optimist
The view from the bridge,
Youth’s promise refined by age,
Rewards the walker.

Winter’s winds are coming,
Friends scattered on the breeze.
I remain here stoic:
The last leaf on the tree.
I’ve clung on for so long,
It’s all I know to do.
Life has lost all meaning
Without my dear love true.
I’m browning at the edge,
The green is draining fast.
Summer’s strength is fading.
How long will I last?
I’ve withstood many storms
But no more can resist.
The final wind is coming.
I hope I will be missed

Today is my birthday
My age gone up by one.
The hair went long ago,
And I never was much fun.
Will this milestone change me?
I feel old, and I ache.
It’s much the same as yesterday.
Now pass the birthday cake!

Book Humour. A Sideways Perspective on the Bonkers Business of Books
This is the blog of a woman who is seriously on the edge and I mean right ON the edge…no, not there… just a little bit further… further than that…no, further still…just a tiny bit more… just move slightly to the right a little…no, that’s too much…just move a tad to the left…that’s right, just there…now you’ve moved too far to the left… Damn, what part of the ‘on the edge’ do you not understand? Oh, and her matricidal boy genius, come devil spawn.
