Mmmm worth a thought ... however can I refer you to one of my favourite poems?

 

 

Warning - When I Am an Old Woman I Shall Wear Purple

 

By Jenny Joseph

 

 

 

 

 

 

When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple

 

with a red hat that doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.

 

And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves

 

and satin candles, and say we've no money for butter.

 

I shall sit down on the pavement when I am tired

 

and gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells

 

and run my stick along the public railings

 

and make up for the sobriety of my youth.

 

I shall go out in my slippers in the rain

 

and pick the flowers in other people's gardens

 

and learn to spit.

 

 

 

You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat

 

and eat three pounds of sausages at a go

 

or only bread and pickles for a week

 

and hoard pens and pencils and beer nuts and things in boxes.

 

 

 

But now we must have clothes that keep us dry

 

and pay our rent and not swear in the street

 

and set a good example for the children.

 

We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.

 

But maybe I ought to practice a little now?

 

So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised

 

When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hence "Purple Wednesday" ... however, I am much taken by the idea of a red hat!!!
