Promises for the future

When I am an old woman I shall wear purple

With a red hat that doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.

And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves

And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.

 

I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired

And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells

And run my stick along the public railings

And make up for the sobrietry of my youth.

 

I shall go out in my slippers in the rain

And pick flowers in other people's gardens

And learn to spit.

 

You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat

And eat three pounds of sausages at a go

Or only bread and pickles for a week

And hoard pens and pencils and beer mats and things in boxes.

 

But now we must have clothes that keep us dry

And pay our rent and not swear in the street

And set a good example for the children.

We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.

 

 

But maybe I ought to practice a little now?

So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised

When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.

I will take my grandchildren to the supermarket. I will give them sweets that make them hyperactive then take them home to their parents.

 

Dont forget that you will wind them up before taking them back and then questioned the parents' parenting ability when they are bouncing off the walls.

I promise that if I have a daughter, I will buy a handgun, and when she gets old enough to date, I will make said dates sit down and have a "talk" with me while I clean said handgun.

 

I also promise to walk around in public completely naked, with my old man balls dangling about. Not because I'll have Alzheimer's, but because it'd be fun to gross out all the young kids and scar them for life.

So basically you are a Noos wannabe then?

I promise I will say "eh?" after everything you say, even if I heard you properly the first time.

 

I will never get my money ready before buying something at the shop. I'll wait until the shopkeeper asks for it, then count it all out in coppers and ask for a receipt.

No automatic or sawn-off? Pah, the guy coming round to 'date' your daughter probably has his own tank.

He's everything I hope to be when I'm too old to remember my name like him.

 

Nowt wrong wit that, when it comes to be a dirty, dribbling, argumentative, cantankerous old bastard with more than a hint of irreverence, Noos is as good a role model as any.
