Friends you may recognise
Hi Folks……a copy and paste this time but rings a bell with many…lol
Recently ate at a restaurant where a table of girlfriends of a certain age were having a wonderful time, and came home and wrote this. You may recognize somebody, maybe yourself …
Lunch with girlfriends
By Kathy O’Malley
Elaine’s vertigo has never been worse
Kay can’t recall where she left her purse
Rhonda’s about to replace her knees
Linda’s breathing is tinged with a wheeze
Donna’s left boob has a troublesome lump
Diane’s on her third trip to take a dump
Lorraine’s husband can’t remember a thing
Nine years a widow, Marge still wears her ring
Marlene is dealing with another UTI
Sally’s giving a hearing aid another try
Marie has decided she can’t drive at night
Sharon still wears clothes two sizes too tight
They’ve been through divorces and babies and wakes
They do for each other whatever it takes
They’ve already buried Marcia and Kate
And truthfully, Lizzie’s not looking so great
So whenever they can, they get out to eat
Open bottles of wine and forget their sore feet
There’s laughing and crying and letting down guards
And when the bill comes, there’s ten credit cards
So here’s to the waiters who keep orders straight
And to the places that let lunches run three hours late
And here’s to the girlfriends, those near and those far
Here’s to the girlfriends, you know who you are

Loved it , Star, Thank you for posting x
Not only you ladies that have meetings like that you know, although I grant the male equivalent tends to be 3 blokes in a pub.
And its not just blokey stuff you chat about Way……..good to know……threes plenty, then you all get a word in….
Hi Tania……women the same the world over……not sure what Way chats about but think it maybe too dark for us…lol….
Hi Starlette, I think you are correct ..lol
Your message really had meaning when you spoke of everybody producing their own credit card – that wouldn’t have happened 50 years ago!
How right you are Drummer…. would we even have had our own money other than the housekeeping we were given after marriage…….
Haha loved it also
