Jane Jago - shut up and write
Today I am grateful for Goodreads friends. I broke my own rules and got cross about something. And it's at time like that when proper friends say. "Shut up and sit down and stop being an arse".Thanks my friends. You know who you are...

Lovely interview. It's always refreshing to hear how your mind works, Jane.

Two figures in the fog, huh? I love when The Muse is all mysterious. And Song of Solomon? Awesome! I knew you had naughty side. ;)Great interview!
I have many sides. So many in fact that I can be removed from tricky situations with a spanner!And isn't everybody gobsmacked the first time they read the Song of Solomon? Yeah it's naughty, but it's also the most beautiful language
I have found the one whom my soul loves.
I have a little verse for the weekendYou are old so you shouldn't do that
You should only like knitting. And cats
It shouldn't be you
With a brand-new tattoo
Making love on an old yoga mat
Am going to post a series of growing old disgracefully limericks on my FB pages. I think....
What say you

I certainly was! :) The best part of the bible IMO!
Mod
Brilliant.
You are old so you shouldn't do that
Your voice should be quiet and flat
You shouldn't make jokes
Or argue with folks
Oh be silent, you dreadful old bat

Absolutely NONE of the retired folks at my job are quiet or non-argumentative. lol
It raised a few eyebrows when the over 50 couple in my novel had smokin' hot sex in a laundry room, so yeah I LOVE IT Jane. Keep it coming!
This old lady, with the remnants of a bar stamp stubbornly refusing to wash from the back of her hand, approves of these shenanigans.
Mod
Bah. Do whatever you want.

I do. Believe me.
I think the growing old disgracefully limericks will be a good way to add piquancy to my Facebook author page....

hahaha I'll be honest, I don't particularly like poems but I love that one!
And no, old people shouldn't change how they are or stopped talking. I figure I only have but a few years left to make myself heard. Now is not the time to become silent! :)
LOL! I love it! VERY funny, Jane!! Huge Hugs!!
Growing old disgracefully is the best way.
Mod
You are old, you should only drink tea
With a small finger quirked daintily
It shouldn't be you
With a brandy or two
And a pint of Bacardi or three

I'm bringing this one to my next doctor visit.

Always nice to have people at your back, breathing down it, watching your every move.
Hope it glows over nicely.

Nice interview, Jane! I especially like your answer: "People who want a bit of aaah in their lives."
Hey... where's the jug of whiskey come in? LOL!! Hugs!!
Jane! I love you. I'm growing old, too ... as disgracefully as I can manage ...
Just read your interview, Jane. Great job! I loved the bit about making a living kept getting in the way. Sooooo true for all of us out there. And I was really excited to see that you, too, were smitten by Song of Solomon. I will say, reading it at a young age was not the same effect as reading it as an adult;) Ha ha.

But the beauty of the language put hooks in me...
You are old, and that prompts me to ask
How certain events came to pass
How you got a gold fang
And a piercing that hangs
And a dragon tattooed on your ass

That's a great poem. I want to know about that tattoo too.

This is my ideal look when I'm 80. I want to be this.
I have a trail of paw pads walking around my left wrist. Damn proud of 'em!! ; )
Ha ha. These limericks remind me of Lewis Carroll's 'Father William' - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You_Are_Old,_Father_William

Pam wrote: "Ha ha. These limericks remind me of Lewis Carroll's 'Father William' - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You_Are..."Yup. Father William was part of the inspiration. The rest is just reaction to how the world looks at older women...
Christina wrote: "This is already my look."RESPECT. Although you aren't yet old enough to qualify for a limerick of your very own....X
Unless you want one
And the next post is definitely NOT Christina's own limerick
You are young so you shouldn't be thatAll pasty, complaisant and fat
With your mouth-ends turned down
And a grumpy-arse frown
From under your middle-aged hat

A nursery rhyme for the third ageFreda and Bill went up the hill
To the shop at the end of the street
They bought syrup for chills
Viagra pills
And corn pads for Freda's sore feet
