Apropos of Nothing, With Apologies To Jenny Joseph

[bloodyrosemccoy]

A Poem:

 

When I Am An Old Woman

I shall join the Red Hat Society

And then wear green

And see if those old biddies get it.

 

(Found that sitting on the end of one of my documents, which I use like post-its.  Probably written while I worked at the hospital, which contained far too many of the Red Hat Society sort.)

That always bothered me. What's the point of a society that celebrates individuality having a dress code?

I love you so much for writing that poem.

*tips hat* Seems I'm not the only one with this sentiment, then?

[prodigal.livejournal.com]

Not by a damn sight. You phrased your feelings better than anybody else I'd seen to date, though.

I don't get the point of red hat society.

[padparadscha.livejournal.com]

As far as I can tell, neither do they.

We all wear red and purple and turn our noses up seems to be the theme.

Ooh, I love it! I love it so much that I called and read it to mom, who loves the original poem but sees that the society misses the point. It made her giggle!

Wow. That's. That's deep. I never thought of it before. :O
