Sexy At Sixty

I was fit and feisty at fifty It was no big deal Because that's how half a century Is supposed to feel. In my sixties I'll take stock Start making great plans Ignoring all the 'you cant's' And embracing all the 'I cans'. Can I be sexy at sixty? and try all the fashions and fads Wear stockings and suspenders And Joan Collins shoulder pads. I can deal with sexy at sixty And wear Vivienne Westwood clothes Dress up and go out on the town Wearing all my buttons and bows. I'm going to be sexy at sixty I'll wear Gok Wan lingerie Find myself a toyboy Then maybe lead him astray. Swift and sexy at sixty When I get my Jimmy Choos Dancing the night away To the sound of Rhythm and Blues. Oh! I want to be sexy at sixty 'cause age is a state of mind I'm preparing my body at keep fit So as not to be left behind. But first, I have to deal with Old skin, Bad teeth and Grey hair Then remove the unwanted growths From just about everywhere. Then I'll definitely be sexy at sixty And undoubtedly done it all The only problem is that Most of it I simply won't recall..

You go for it girl. Men can be sexy at sixty so women can be too, they say it all depends on the man you are with or you are as old as the man you feel xx
