Warning poem by Jenny joseph

I like the poem, my daughter bought me a purple hat on my 60th birthday

RIP Jenny Joseph

I love that poem too. There is a Red Hat Society that women can join and they organise outings, events etc but there is not a branch near me.

RIP. I didn’t know she had died. When my DS2 was 11 he came home from school and said he had been reading a poem that reminded him of me. Oh? I replied, interested (and ready to be flattered). He told me the title, hesitated and then said “I don’t mean it in a rude way mummy, but you are a bit eccentric aren’t you”. I didn’t know the poem and immediately looked it up....wasn’t sure whether to be annoyed or amused, amusement won!!

Didn't like the poem but I'm sorry she has died.

RIP

I’m going to spend all my pension on brandy and butter.?

I read it to my DGD the other day because she commented on my wearing purple.She is now looking out for the other signs.

Yes, me too. I have it in a couple of anthologies and often come across it. I didn’t know she had died; that’s sad.

I love that poem too, and the sentiment in it. When I go out in a minute I'm going to wear my purple rain jacket and carry my red handbag. (I don't have a red hat).
