Side Effects

Post by indar » Mon Mar 30, 2020 1:47 pm

I just developed an itch
to go to the mall.
I usually hate the mall,
malls depress me

but
all of a sudden
I need to visit
Forever 21,
buy some colorful
workout tights.
What for?
The gym is closed.
I'm 78 years old,
I have 17 pair already.

Gray-haired, 
front-row diva
of the LA Fitness
Zumba class,
I've been told
I am perverse
and getting worse.
I don't care.

Sounds kind of sexy if you don’t mind me saying, and funny.

Thanks Murmac, I try.
