The Seven Ages of Woman
The first twelve years: these build her power base,
establishing the woman she will be.
Her teens: they’re mostly boys/booze/clothes/hair/Face
book. (Waste of time – apart from her degree!)
Twenty to forty: Motherhood, of course,
and then an acrimonious divorce.
A fabulous career’s the next big stage
for women who have reached that ‘certain age’.
The Big Five-O: This decade is the best;
it focuses on her more than the rest.
By sixty she’s a Grandma, which is fun; it
means that she has been there, seen it, done it!
From three score years and ten, until life ends,
she wants to see – and see out – all her friends.
