Agony Aunt 4 Poem by David Wood
Agony Aunt 4
Dear Agony Aunt my husband has started something new
He's learning to dance the Argentine tango
The trouble is we're both 92
And I have the tan but not the go.
He dances in supermarket aisles
And scares other shoppers away
Even though he always smiles
It just leaves me in utter dismay.
Dear reader this is my advice
Go take him to the freezer aisle
And fill his pants with chunks of ice
That should at least remove his smile.
Dear Agony Aunt I did what you said
It even put him in a trance
But I now have another dread
The ice made him start to tap dance.
ONE: The theme of "Agony Aunt 4" by David Woods revolves around the role of advice columnists, commonly known as agony aunts, who provide guidance to people facing personal problems.
TWO: These columns have a long history, dating back to the 1690s, and have evolved over time. Originally, men wrote these columns, but eventually, women took over.
THREE: In the mid-twentieth century, agony aunts were often depicted as older women, offering moral guidance and emphasizing doing "the right thing." However, in the 1970s, societal changes allowed for more open discussions about , relationships, and unconventional lives..
FOUR: Agony aunts like Marje Proops and Claire Rayner became influential figures, advocating for issues such as contraception, gay rights, and education. The format of agony columns remained consistent, but the content and approach shifted significantly, reflecting broader societal shifts
A wonderful witty poem from your creative pen! Old age can be troublesome but it has its funny side as well.
My last response: I have enjoyed tremendously! Now up to the previous Agony Aunts.
my husband has started something new....I always love novelty!

A super cool respite from the cold genocide of Palestinians going on. Kudos for your poem.
