Yay! I am midway between your last stage as written - FINALLY! I am giving me a little me time! Excellent poem and expresses much of the joy and grief and struggle of being female.

Okay... THIS IS NOT INTENEDED TO OFFEND WOMEN! would you like to know the struggles of growing from boyhood to manhood?? You know, like having to be the one to ask for the date or the dance and getting rejected... paying for dates and dinner and drinks and often not a chance at a second date... and so forth!!!! hehe LOL!!
Maybe I should write a poem about this!!! LOL!!
A nice little read, Juliet. Very enjoyable and I'm only having fun with my response. We all could learn so much from each other... it's tough growing up at any stage of life and at any age!! Cheers.....Jerry

Hi Auntie ..I always thought life begins at 40 .In 3and a half years it's time for me to grow up (he laughed)from a mans point of view o-40 is the experimental stage, playtime .40 plus is when I get to put it all into practice .Apparently I am going to live to 103 so I am in No rush (We have good age genes in our family)I look forward to the future ..tellingmy great grandchildren of times past, when mojo's and black jacks cost half a pence for 2.
The womens mind, um, Does it go something like .They always want to look older, when they finally do, they moan and say, Now I want to look younger.at least a mans desire is simple. Beer Sex apart Beer sex together Beer sex with sports Beer sex with more beer.Throw In the occasional crossword.oh and a car thats engines matches the sound of our arse and were in heaven.Now why can't a womens life be as simple.
love and light
P.s. I really wish it was that simple for a man lol I have problems with sports,Can't stand it. haven't drank alcohol since new years .I hate cars and crosswords. And sex, well I could definitely do with a lot more of that.

I have had a strange life compared to the major population and find myself jumping from one stage, than a backwards cartwheel to another stage, then 2 flips forward to another stage. Grrrrr. You've summed it all up though and done so quite poetically.
