Maybe At Eighty
They say wisdom comes as you age-
Now I’m in a real jam-
at sixty I should be a sage-
look what a fool I am-
by S. Minanel

English: Photochrom print of an elderly Irish woman at a spinning wheel. Note: This is a posed nostalgia photograph, since the spinning wheel had gone out of use in almost all practical everyday contexts for a half-century or more by the time this picture was taken. Français : Image photochrome d’une vieille irlandaise filant au rouet. Gaeilge: Prionta fótocrómatach le seanbean Éirinneach ag obair le meaisín sníomhacháin. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
