Two Old Ladies Poem by Walterrean Salley

Two Old Ladies

Rating: 5.0


Once two old ladies lived together.
They were friends in every weather.
Though they fussed,
And though they cussed,
They somehow stuck together.

(Limerick)

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
The two ladies, here, happened to be one of my grandmothers and her cousin. They were too old to live alone, and the family thought it good that they try living together for support. If they were here today, they would laugh along with me as I laugh with them. That’s just the type of women they were.

They were each probably too old to get up and leave the other, so they stayed and cussed each other out! lol! Catchy limmerick, Walterreaan...~FjR~

A very interesting limerick! ! I imagine these two grannies sans teeth, sans hearing, haggling with a fruit vendor!

As old ladies do. Speaking from experience.

I can see the point when 2 old ladies live together. That is why I choose to be just myself, where peace, and harmony lives with my many hobbies, that I never feel alone and I learned to love myself, so I do not need anyone specific, because many people loves me anyway. This is a good observation.
