	THE VALUE OF OLD AGE Remember, old folks are worth a fortune - With silver in their hair, gold in their teeth, stones in their kidneys and gas in their stomachs I have become a little older since I last wrote to you and changes have come into my life. I am quite a frivolous old girl now and I am seeing five gentlemen each day As soon as I wake up Will Power helps me out of bed Then I visit Lou Next its time for Mr. Quaker to give me my oats. They leave, and Arthur Ritis shows up and stays with me for the rest of the day. He doesn’t stay in one place, he takes me from joint to joint. After such a busy day, I am ready for bed with Johnny Walker What a life! And oh yes, I have started flirting with Al Zymer. The Vicar came the other day and said "at your age your should be thinking of the hereafter" I told him "I do, no matter where I am, in the lounge or in the bedroom, in the kitchen or in the cellar, I ask myself - now what am I in here after?"

	...then I came across this!!! :-S :-0 MY DAY OF YOUTH My day of youth is over My torch of life is out What used to be my sex appeal is now my water spout Time was when, of its own accord T’would from my trousers spring For now I have a full time job To find the bloody thing It used to be embarrassing For early every morning It stood and watched me shave But now with old age approaching It sure gives me the blues To see it’s withered head And watch me clean my shoes

	Hilarious - but so true :-D :-D :-D Glad I read them before the itchy finger appears ;-)
	Researching: I have given up trying to find any information on (1) Mother of George Wotherspoon - he was born 1759 in Old Monklands. (2) When James Patrick Clusker born 1890 married Mary Ellen Bryant in USA. (3) Information on Thomas Wotherspoon born 1901 in Fife, lived in the Huddersfield area in 1952. Photo is of me in the cloisters of Iona Abbey.
