Ella: On Flirting

When I was young I flirted,
and I wasn't understood.
I was trying to be friendly,
to tease and just have fun.
I soon learned there was danger
in my attempts at play,
so I squelched my playful nature
as I traveled life's highway.
Ahhhh . . . but now that I am older
the danger's there no more
and I can flirt and tease and play
with all the cute young boys.
I never flirt with men my age,
what would I want with them?
I'm not looking for trouble,
I just want harmless fun.
So I flirt with cute young fellas
of my grandson's age,
and I think that they enjoy it
as they laugh and grin and blush.
And they don't think I'm naughty,
or evil or obscene . . .
No, they just think I am senile
and they patiently humor me.
