Grammie Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 Merry Christmas To All you Lady Quilters If I were ol' Santa, you know what I'd do I'd dump silly gifts that are given to you And deliver some things just inside your front door Things you have lost, but treasured before. I'd give you back all your maidenly vigor, And to go along with it, a neat tiny figure. Then restore the old color that once graced your hair Before rinses and bleaches took residence there. I'd bring back the shape with which you were gifted So things now suspended need not be uplifted. I'd draw in your tummy and smooth down your back Till you'd be a dream in those tight fitting slacks. I'd remove all your wrinkles and leave only one chin So you wouldn't spend hours rubbing grease on your skin You'd never have flashes or queer dizzy spells And you wouldn't hear noises like ringing of bells. No sore aching feet and no corns on your toes No searching for spectacles when they're right on your nose. Not a shot would you take in your arm, hip or fanny From a doctor who thinks you're a nervous old granny. You'd never have a headache, so no pills would you take. And no heating pad needed since your muscles won't ache! Yes, if I were Santa, you'd never look stupid You'd be a cute little chick with the romance of a cupid. I'd give a lift to your heart when those wolves start to whistle And the joys of your heart would be light as a thistle. But alas! I'm not Santa. I'm simply just me The matroness of matrons you ever did see. I wish I could tell you all the symptoms I've got But I'm due at my doctor's for an estrogen shot. Even though we've grown older this wish is sincere Merry Christmas to you and a Happy New Year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phyllis Wright Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 Great poem, Tammie, and Judi, you can have my hot flashes any day. I've been having them for over 20 years now, and my Dr. says they have become part of my system and I'll have them all my life!! :( Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all our quilting friends, Phyllis.

Elita@BusyNeedleQuilting Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 Grammie Tammie, lovely poem, lots of chuckles from that! And for all those with "Flashes", please note for the record that they are really "Power Surges"! Merry Christmas & Happy New Year everyone!
