e-MAIL HUMOR

A WOMAN'S POEM (contributed by Shirley)
When I was in my younger days,
I weighed a few pounds less,
I needn't hold my tummy in
to wear a belted dress.
But now that I am older,
I've set my body free;
There's comfort of elastic
where once my waist would be.
Inventor of those high-heeled shoes
my feet have not forgiven;
I have to wear a nine now,
but used to wear a seven.
And how about those pantyhose
They're sized by weight, you see.
So how come when I put them on,
the crotch is at my knees?
I need to wear these glasses
as the prints were getting smaller;
and it wasn't very long ago
 I know that I was taller.
Though my hair has turned to silver
and my skin no longer fits;
On the inside, I'm the same old me,
Just the outside's changed a bit.
