WRITTEN FOR THE MERRY MELLOWS
RETIRED FAIRY
Poor old soul! She's had her day
And she's about to fly away
To some fairy home of rest
Where I hope she will be better-dressed.
Broken wands and droopy wings,
Aren't really very festive things,
And sour expressions aren't the best
And they may give rise to jest.
Once she sat on the top of the tree
As pretty as a girl can be,
But years go by for golden girls,
With rosebud lips and tossing curls,
Just as they do for poor dreary souls
Who play life's very average roles.
But there's still life in the old girl yet.
She shouldn't waste time on regret.
Play some Bingo! Play some bowls!
Play some golf! Even nineteen holes!
Form a group! Act silly plays!
That will brighten-up your days!
Ancient fairy , learn from me.......
Have fun, even though you're elderly.

That which is lost calls.
It's voice is muffled and soft.
I hear it laughing.

A non-Xmas tea-party today. Bev, first left, decided that a few of us should celebrate Gwenda's return to health. She is on Bev's left. The other participants are Gwen, Pam and Joy. Although we had a merry time, we also got deadly serious as times. Who wouldn't after today's news?
