Laughing Old Ladies there by the way
sitting and sewing and wasting away
drinking their milk and telling tall tales
about all that they had and all of their ails
about men and boys and a grandchilds face
and infinite words of a loving embrace
some were yet youthful in action and word
but all of them listened, even tho very few heard
their necks were craning and eyes were round
they'd seen it all but so much more was oft found
and as their friends spoke sometimes for the last
they giggled and laughed, reliving their past
