Lunch With Girlfriends

By Kathy O’Malley
 

Elaine’s vertigo has never been worse

Kay can’t recall where she left her purse

Rhonda’s about to replace her knees

Linda’s breathing is tinged with a wheeze

Donna's left boob has a troublesome lump

Diane’s on her third trip to take a dump

Lorraine’s husband can’t remember a thing

Nine years a widow, Marge still wears her ring

Marlene is dealing with another UTI

Sally’s giving a hearing aid another try

Marie has decided she can’t drive at night

Sharon still wears clothes two sizes too tight

They’ve been through divorces and babies and wakes

They do for each other whatever it takes

They’ve already buried Marcia and Kate

And truthfully, Lizzie’s not looking so great

So whenever they can, they get out to eat

Open bottles of wine and forget their sore feet

There’s laughing and crying and letting down guards

And when the bill comes, there’s ten credit cards

So here’s to the waiters who keep orders straight

And to the places that let lunches run three hours late

And here’s to the girlfriends, those near and those far

Here's to the girlfriends, you know who you are!!!

As we get older, this is how it is when we get together for lunch! Sorry guys, you just have to accept us as we are , if you are having lunch with us.

Yes, some of us are getting older, but don't let that keep you from coming to our Reunion.  We want to see and visit with YOU!!!

I am pretty sure all of us Boomers heard training statements like these growing up. But I am sure neither you or I have ever said anything like these to our kids!

1. My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE. “If you’re going to kill each other, do it outside. I just finished mopping the floor.”

2. My mother taught me RELIGION. “You better pray that will come out of the carpet.”

3. My father taught me about TIME TRAVEL. “If you don’t straighten up, I’m going to knock you into the middle of next week.”

4. My father taught me LAW. “You’re lookin’ at the law book.”

5. My mother taught me LOGIC. “If you fall out of that tree and break your neck, don’t expect to go to the store with me.”

6. My mother taught me PLANNING. “Make sure you wear clean underwear, in case you are in an accident.

7. My father taught me IRONY. “Keep crying and I’ll give you something to cry about.”

8. My mother taught me about the science of OSMOSIS. “Shut your mouth and eat your supper.”

9. My mother taught me about CONTORTIONISM. “Just you look at that dirt on the back of your neck.”

10. My mother taught me about STAMINA. “You’ll sit there until all that spinach is gone.”

11. My mother taught me about WEATHER. “This room of yours looks like a tornado went through it.”

12. My mother taught me about HYPOCRISY. “If I told you once, I’ve told you a million times. Don’t exaggerate!”

13. My father taught me about the CIRCLE OF LIFE. “I brought you into this world and I can take you out.”

14. My mother taught me about BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION and the VALUE OF MONEY. “Why should I give you money for being good? Why don’t you be good for nothing like your daddy?”

Mary Jane Boyer Chapman had a Bad Day after too many snow days!

Check out this slide show with music from The Animals https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUpBSvN1a50 . It really applied the first week or two of March, when many of us were "trapped" inside because of the ice and snow outside.  Mary Jane Boyer Chapman was going crazy, like this picture.
