"IF" ~ I GET OLD (smile)

I'll wear "midnight, sprinkled with stardust"

and fake eyelashes and diamonds on my toenails.

I'll spend money on Christmas lights and Barneys coffee

and lobster and buy presents for a secret lover...

and won't care if I become homeless.

I'll lay in a pile of leaves

and make things in the clouds

and catch snowflakes on my tongue

and do it all...

in the company of

my favorite person

(via trial and error elimination).

I'll dance in rain puddles and sing

(my own songs)

LOUD

and talk to Jack Frost and Santa Claus,

of course

and have a tea party with my Granny

(she would have so loved that).

I'll say all the things I never said

but wanted to

(good and bad)

and get revenge

and tell 'some' secrets !

Ahhh...how sweet that will be !

And I might even join a nudist colony !

I'll decorate my house for Christmas

and leave it that way all year

and travel anywhere my fancy leads me

and go to plays and rodeo's and symphony's

and drink lots of wine from a crystal glass

~with my name engraved on it~

~and~

cry just because I don't like my name.

And I'll use all those familiar 'bad words'

that for now, I try not to use.

~

But 'til then...

I'll just keep wearing a brown shirt !
