90 NOT OUT!  HERE'S TO THE CENTURY ...! 

For Jean 














My dear friend, Jean, is 90!
Although you wouldn't know it ...

She's witty, bright and funny ...
90???  Doesn't show it!

We've known each other for many years
And, although we can't now meet ...

I always feel that she's still near,
Living in my street.

We "talk" of books and nature ...
And many other things ...

"Of shoes - and ships - and sealing-wax 
And cabbages - and kings - " ...

I'd really love to visit 
But ME must improve ...

And, if it doesn't, nothing for it ...
She'll just have to move!!*

(* to be closer to me obviously!!)
