Single-Handed.
Roll up a spent life-time and dance.
Stow pockets of learned behaviour.
Drive to agelessness single-handed.
Do yourself an immeasurable favour.
Jump on a cloud sailing to dreams.
Lost ambition dims roads forward.
Glean strength bent on just being.
Achieving delivers ample rewards.
Silver Surfer is an apt name-term
Chase new ways to find adventure.
Zeal still reveals an exciting world.
It's never to late to define success.
Go buy yourself the starter-kit set.
You most likely will never regret it.

Thanks FAY ~ Great advice for all GERIATRICS ~ My Granny has mastered the Computer and is now a Silver Surfer we have put an 18+ block on it ! For computer literate 70+ "Future learn" offers a plethora of Superb Short on-line courses to keep their Brains active. Saga offers door to door Age-friendly Cruises (with handsome male escorts ~ my Granny tells me ~ to dance with) and Holidays as do Warners (no KIDS !) So far the NHS provides Pacemakers ~ Physiotherapy ~ Free Joints (not cocaine) There are also plenty of Clubs ~ Probus ~ WI and Church based which cater for the retired. I only hope all these facilties will still be available in 2053 when I will need them and a THREE WHEEL ~ Harley Davidson to ride Route 66 ! As in your PICTURE. Thanks for caring & sharing ~ Yours as always BRIAN ~ Please check my World Cup Poems while ENGLAND are still in the MIX ~ I'm still flying the flag ~ Thanks B !
Thanks for your lovely summary of what adventures are open to Silver surfers right now Brian - - so pleased ;you enjoyed the lighthearted look at what is offered. Am on my way now to check your world cup poem though I understand so little about the game. Thanks again.
It's never too late to enjoy life at you capability. Getting older should be fun. We need to look at the elderly as still needed members of society and not a burden. Loved this!
Thanks so much dear friend for your input on what we can learn from elderly members of society - glad you enjoyed the read.
A fine write Fay. There's nothing like the WI - some are stern, strict, old school - fearful! lol.
Thanks for this interesting comment dear Orchi.
Very good and very true write, I still learn new things every day and I reach the three score years and ten in a few months.
Learning is what life is about despite passing years my friend. Thank you so much for the read and comment.
Oh Fay you do look so cute astride that motorbike.
Being of that certain age there are many things on my 'would love to try or do' list. But i'm not sure my knees and back want me to get stuck in.
Ha ha ha - - I knew someone would make me into a mad bike-rider through the fun picture I chose -- I thought it would raise a few smiles - thanks a load D.A. for the read and the comment.
Ah great funloads Fay - love it.
Yup - - just wanted to raise a few smiles - glad you liked the fun-write Michael.
My dear Fay,
I’m on my way to join you to enjoy the ride while I can still walk and talk!
I’ve enjoyed reading this lighthearted poem very much!
I’m jumping on that
“cloud sailing to dreams”!
You’re so spot on with...
“It’s never too late to define success.”
Let’s take that ride to buy ourselves
“the starter-kit set.”
~Laura~
Am already watching for your call to jump with me to lands of dreamy achievement my friend - - have got enough starter-kits so bring who you choose for the adventure - bless you for the comment dear Laura.
Love you my dear Fay! You always make me smile!
