Yet another elderly authoress
has commandeered the media
of my country, to promote
some new adaption of her work.
The 87 year old has pressed
the sex-among-the-elderly button
that the media reserves for those
in desperate need of publicity
who have nowhere else to go.
'Jogging has replaced sex for.... '
runs the headline describing
life for the late middle aged,
as the elderly woman stakes
some temporary claim to infamy.
Frankly, a little light gardening,
including tasks shared with friends,
and a walk with some purpose,
to clear my head if nothing else,
would be exercise enough for me
and for most physically fit people
who are over the age of being surprised.
