Learning to Spit

It was suggested that I stop trying to behave all the time and the book "When I am an Old Woman I Shall Wear Purple" was brought up to me.

Turns out I had purchased that book many years ago so I went into the basement and brought it up.

The first poem is titled "Warning" and some phrases are:

When I am an old woman I hall wear purple
...
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
...
And learn to spit.

Not great at spitting (yet) but I love to wear purple.

So tomorrow I will wear the purple scarf I wove and dyed.
