How to be Happy in Old Age
by
Christine Swanberg

Refer to Pavarotti as your friend.

Listen to him often.

Try to live the way he sings.

Give everyone A’s in everything.

Never be afraid of your hair

or what others might say about it.

Prefer levity to pomposity.

Make up wonderful lies

especially to stupid questions.

Love good food and drink.

Cook marvelously.

Carry a rusty briefcase

or a red knapsack.

Make satirical weathervanes.

Wear outrageous socks.

From The Alleluia Tree (The Puddin’head Press, 2012).
