Senior Citizens

[marval]

Senior citizens are constantly being criticized for every conceivable
deficiency of the modern world, real or imaginary. We know we take

responsibility for all we have done and do not blame others.

HOWEVER, upon reflection, we would like to point out that it was NOT the
senior citizens who took

The melody out of music,

The pride out of appearance,

The courtesy out of driving,

The romance out of love,

The commitment out of marriage,

The responsibility out of parenthood,

The togetherness out of the family,

The learning out of education,

The service out of patriotism,

The civility out of behavior,

The refinement out of language,

The dedication out of employment,

The prudence out of spending,

The ambition out of achievement

And we are NOT the ones who

eliminated patience and tolerance from

personal relationships and interactions with others!

And we do understand the meaning of patriotism and remember those who
have fought and died for our country.

YES, I'M A SENIOR CITIZEN!

I'm the life of the party..... Even if it lasts until 8 p.m.

I'm very good at opening childproof caps..... With a hammer.

I'm awake many hours before my body allows me to get up.

I'm smiling all the time because I can't hear a thing you're saying.

I'm sure everything I can't find is in a safe secure place, somewhere.

I'm wrinkled, saggy, lumpy, and that's just my left leg.

I'm beginning to realize that ageing is not for wimps.

Yes, I'm a SENIOR CITIZEN, and I think I am having the time of my life!

Now if I could only remember who sent this to me, I wouldn't send it back.

Spread the laughter

Share the cheer

Let's be happy

While we're here.

Quite right.:)

Very good

But not convinced by:

/And we are NOT the ones who

took the civility out of behavior,

eliminated patience and tolerance from

personal relationships and interactions with others! /
