True Beauty (with apologies to Cole Porter)
In olden day’s a glimpse of stocking
Was thought of as something shocking
But now who knows
Everything shows!
Walking down the average boulevard
Mutton parading really very hard
In lamb’s clothes!
Far too much shows!
If wearing too tight skirts you like
Minis that hurt you like
Tops fit to burst you like
You at your worst you like
Well past your best you like
Overexposed chest you like
Looking half undressed you like
I’d have to oppose...
Better you should try and act your age
Accepting surely now that at your age
Heaven knows,
‘Swhen true beauty shows.

Prompted by following someone walking down the street in our local market town yesterday who clearly wanted to be someone else... a much younger them!🥴

I see that a lot in the supermarket. Women in their 50s or even 60s and they're dressed like they're 19 years old. I wonder what happened to shame, having a bit of decorum, and growing old with grace. Sorry, I'm starting to sound like my alter ego Dick Hedd!

There's nothing wrong with Dick Hedd's points of view!
