"The Old Fools" by Philip Larkin (poetry reading)

[Oakleaf700]

Well, none of us know what will happen after death- but as Larkin says-''we shall all find out!'' personally I think there is a chance of some sort of afterlife, and i really hope there is, as it would be lovely to be reunited with old friends, old dogs, and beloved family members... And if it is only Oblivion, like the blackness of a general anaesthetic, well, at least we won't be aware of it!

[ElysianFields100]

Most old folks aren't wise; just clever

So they remain silent, cuz they know better

[D375]

Getting old isn't optional - but acting old, is ....

[aesthetic1950]

"We live in a society that is most prejudiced against old age. People are so afraid of looking old that they have plastic surgery to look a freaky forty rather than a nifty fifty." AMEN.

I am in no position to say whether sex in the 60s is better than sex in the 20s...but it sounds like something to feel good about.

Better sex? Really? Well I am 24 and not in the least prejudiced against older men. I knew that some of the best works have been done by older men. I like older men.
