Lives Her Way

Vintage biker's jacket

Boots thigh high

Tartan pashmina 

Sartorial rules don't apply

Black eyeliner just so

Long gray hair

Artfully arranged topknot

Sophisticated air

Antique pearls

One amber hoop earring

Silver bangles

Forever tinkling

Drinks champagne

Occasionally swears

Talks with her hands

Mediterranean flair

Raucous laugh

Energises everyone

Ageing disgracefully

Determined on fun

Edging nine decades

Lives her way

Done so all her life

She is proud to say
