The color Purple - Page 4

LadyFrost,

I've heard of the Red Hat Society, in which women of 50+ years wear purple clothes and red hats to tea parties....maybe she saw something like that? LOL

I wonder what the Purple Hat Society signifies? Maybe they are even older?

Hmm..dont know...made me want to get a purple hat though.. :)
I wonder if I can get away wearing it with my daughters purple wig?

BT.....

mettre la pelle où le soleil ne pas briller witch haineuse.  

Just go away and leave me alone.

LadyFrost, look what I found  !

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.

Ha,ha..this is too cool..i think i will be looking forward to joing the purple club...hope it still exists in 20 years. :)
