Not One of Us

I was originally gonna call this 'An Old Man Dreams' but it could have applied to an old gall too, so eventually thought 'Not one of us would do'....

Not One of Us

 

None of us

Are here

For very long

And if I’m not

Mistaken

All the

Pretty ones

Are always

Taken

What would

I not give

For just an

Hour or two

With you and

Be young

Again ……. x

A leg, an arm and an eyeball most probably. To be young us again, with young them and all the energy that we squandered the first time round put to much better use, and so good for your cardio too :)

[Neville]

You're all heart.. maybe that's why I love ya.. cheers :)

[alanwgraham]

We'll have to start an old darts (damn even prejudictive texting doesn't recognise us) farts annex to the WC (or maybe the ante room to the hereafter). There's a young guy in here somewhere! I like it but I don't know what our young friends make of our hankering. The important thing Neville is that I know I'm not alone!
Cheers alan

[Neville]

nor shall you ever be Alan... bless ya little cotton elasticated hosiery.. can I rely on you to come up with a suitable motto and emblem.... N x

[Paul Bell]

To go back in time and get it right.
Just to go back in time.
Yeah, I think we would all want that.

[Neville]

who would argue with that eh my friend... no one, that's who..... cheers a plenty.. Neville

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, the one you love(d) will always be as beautiful as she (he) was the day you won her( his) heart, Neville. And to love someone you need't be young or rich!

[Neville]

I do so enjoy your visits M.. and this one is no exception... stay around and have a blessed day ... N

[Mrudula Rani]

Thank you dear N. uma bom dia para você também (wish you a good day to you too)

[Mrudula Rani]

I love the emblem (on your profile picture space).

[Neville]

I so hope our wishes come true.... x

[Neville]

thank you M.. it could be of any two people dont you think... I guess that makes it universally appealing and a little bit intriguing.... N

[Mrudula Rani]

You have an excellent taste!!

[Neville]

and we both have a thirst for words...

[Fran Marie]

Oh to go back in time ..now that would be nice
Being young again and you express it so
Well.. Very nicely penned..

[Neville]

the very thought of it makes me smile... and I thank you for confirming it for me.... bless ya Fran my friend... N x

Wistful and so wistful is what I read in your words here Neville! Especially when we meet the pretty and lovable ones. How we wish we could turn back the time! I sometimes hope for another set of nine lives. Sans the regrets and pain, theres still so much in this earthly life to love and live for. Kudos!

[Neville]

wistful is precisely the word I wanted... and yes, there is much yet to live for and love.. bless ya.. :)

[Dhara_Ditzy Kat]

So much to celebrate too! Happy Diwali Neville :)))

[Neville]

Back at you my friend and true.... :)

[Dhara_Ditzy Kat]

Thank you :)))))))

[Papaya]

I like this, has such a sweetness to it.
to be young again, would be so nice

[Neville]

even those who say otherwise, would probably grab the opportunity with both hands and not let go.... thank you Ana.. thank you very much indeed.. N

[Papaya]

I would grab on for sure

[Neville]

and I, being a gentleman would let ya grab first....N

[Lydia Shutter]

Ah, to be young again and to know what I know now....yes, that would be wonderful. Thing is, if you are only looking at the pretty ones, you are missing out. You have penned what so many think, my friend. You have a special knack for doing that. I liked it. Lydi**

[Neville]

you are way too kind, but I like it.... cheers Lydi**... x

[Neville]

and yeah insight and hindsight are both priceless, but where are they when we need em.....

[Lydia Shutter]

Ah, there's the rub. :)

[Neville]

precisely.. :)

[Chris Shaw]

Well what a thought. Better than a cream tea eh Neville? Better than Lindt Lindor (melt in the mouth bloody gorgeous) Better than dunking chocolate digestives. Your writing is so direct ya know. So direct that your readers would think you:ve written it especially with them in mind. New avatar, nice. Like the image, assuming it's a badge?

[Neville]
