YES, I'M A SENIOR CITIZEN!
Senior citizens are constantly being criticized for every conceivable
deficiency of the
modern world, real or imaginary. We know we take
responsibility for all we have done and
do not blame others.
HOWEVER, upon reflection, we would like to point out that it
was NOT the senior citizens
who took:
The melody out of music,
The pride out of appearance,
The courtesy out of driving,
The romance out of love,
The commitment out of marriage,
The responsibility out of parenthood,
The togetherness out of the family,
The learning out of education,
The service out of patriotism,
The Golden Rule from rulers,
The nativity scene out of cities,
The civility out of behavior,
The refinement out of language,
The dedication out of employment,
The prudence out of spending,
The ambition out of achievement or
God out of government and school.
And we certainly are NOT the ones who eliminated patience and
tolerance from personal
relationships and interactions with others!!
And, we do understand the meaning of patriotism, and remember
those who have fought and died for our country.
Just look at the Seniors with tears in their eyes and pride in their
hearts as they
stand at attention with their hand over their hearts!
YES, I'M A SENIOR CITIZEN!
I'm the life of the party...... even if it lasts until 8 p.m.
I'm very good at opening childproof caps.... with a hammer.
I'm awake many hours before my body allows me to get up.
I'm smiling all the time because I can't hear a thing you're saying.
I'm sure everything I can't find is in a safe secure place, somewhere.
I'm wrinkled, saggy, lumpy, and that's just my left leg.
I'm beginning to realize that aging is not for wimps.
Yes, I'm a SENIOR CITIZEN and I think I am having the time
of my life!
Now if I could only remember who sent this to me.
Spread the laughter
Share the cheer
Let's be happy
While we're here.
Go Green - Recycle CONGRESS!!
