Description She put on her makeup, and polished her teeth,
Her heels so high, she must come to grief.
A tiny black number, unsurprisingly short,
a matching black cane with glitter for thought.

Wrinkly skin pulled back in a bun,
She looked thirty years younger, no, thirty-one!
Her grey wild curls sternly restyled,
with spray upon spray excessively piled.

Looking pretty groovy for a hundred and four,
with a skip and a flip she danced out of the door,
she cartwheeled her way straight into up-town,
and from there, she went speedily down.

Into the most happenin' club on the block,
as the chimes rang out twelve on the clock,
she winked at the bouncer and blew him a kiss,
which the poor fella ran miles to miss.

She headed out dancing onto the floor,
straight away teens ran *drunk* for the door,
such a wild dance never seen before,
they don’t make gam's like that anymore.

After the song finished she went for a drink,
Out fell her teeth with a ‘clunk’ and a ‘clink’.
Into her beer, the guys stared in wonder,
As Kelly picked them out and tossed them asunder.

Gummy gal Kelly was quite the flirt,
Blinking her lashes, and smoothing her skirt,
For sure, the victorian chick still has ‘it’
She tongue tied the guys with her sewing travel kit.

But when it struck one, Kelly had to fly,
With forty phone numbers (and kisses good-bye)
She leapt her way home, to bed to go,
For those old folks get up early you know.

Rofl! Yes, some of it's a bit jumpy, but it's incredibly imaginative. Awesome job.

Well, if I am going to be like that at 40, I better learn how to skip and flip properly, and do a correct cartwheel I will soon have to start my series about you, and you just wait dear Cazilie......

Lol! I really like your fun approach to poetry. It's wonderfully refreshing - we don't often seem to get it on DeviantArt. I'd suggest you put more effort into rhythm, because many of the syllables were out of place, but on second thoughts I don't suppose it really matters because I enjoyed the story so much

*grins* I didn't really write this with the intention of posting it here. Hence the rhythm IS a little off in places. But its light-hearted and reads okay. Thanks for your comment And Kelly dear, you'll probably be like this at 40, never mind 104
