The laughter burst out
As we were playing our game.
Hitting the balls with care
And with accuracy
When four cyclists
Passed us by on the road,
Young men racing.
One looked over at us
And shouted,
Shouted to his friends,
“I want to do that one day,
I just can’t wait,
Can’t wait to be an old twat!”
We just burst out laughing,
A wonderful moment
In our beautiful day.

Sorry you were called this ... that’s rude isn’t it . I’m glad you tried to laugh it away .
There’s no need to call people names ... it’s unkind
It can be construed as rude but in my long life it is also used in a fun way.
We, all being 'of an age' realised this and just laughed out loudly.

Ok . But it is a rude word isn’t it . Glad you could laugh about it
A useful write Gold.
Their days will come, when they are twattish! Is that a word?
Well, we are very old, you and I. They got that bit right.
We would tell them:'Do you know, lads, back in 1066 we......'
Oh yes, we could bore them into old age with our stories Orchi.

And look at those young twats riding their tricycles. LOL. ; )
We often do AP.

Wynton is probably the most technically proficient trumpet player of all time. What he is doing on circular breathing alone is mind blowing. Whilst being dazzled by his playing here, I would much rather enjoy the picture being painted rather than be dazzled. I.E. Chet never dazzled but painted with his soul.
Well as one "old twat" to another. Long live being an old twat, they may never achieve it.
I once saw Wynton do a masterclass and one thing he said was that Satchmo could do more on a trumpet than anybody else he knew. I know what you mean da, the picture that can be painted by Chet means sop much more.
Andy Old Twat.
If you're having fun then laughter is a great way of remembering the day. A cheeky comment is always worth a chuckle 🙂
Laughter is one of the best medicines there is in our lives Andy, let us all chuckle away.

It's good you wrote about it about real daily events maybe he had a nice puncture on down the road and had to push his bike home
Thank you rosie, I am always writing about life's events and often laughing at them.

Anyone bothered by 'twat' should bugger off and consult Wikipedia on the subject - The scope of that reference never ceases to amaze....
True Dave but it does have a completely different connotation outside the UK.
Andy
well then
let us toast, us 'old twats'
who survived
to keep our loved ones, alive
within each smile
we display: Defiantly, each day!
'Cheers' 🍻 - my friend
to many more years, being serenaded
by laughter's music
while watching youthful vitality, script
their future's: tears of regret...
