OT: Those Born 1980+

[NoflopsHomer]

Isn't it great not being an old codger?   

[RED-DOG]

Youth is wasted on young people

[Ginger]

What's that saying? " You're only as old as the man you feel" LOL 

[NoflopsHomer]

Youth is wasted on young people

Only old people use sayings... 


(Well I can hardly use the thread as an appreciation of the 80's)

[Poppet7]

Yeah it feels great!!

I was born in 1987

[RED-DOG]

When as a child I laughed and wept, time crept

And then when I became a man, time ran

When my life was almost through, time flew

Now at my back I often hear, times winged charriot drawing near



Gather your rosebuds while you may guys, they are not long the days of wine and roses

[RED-DOG]

Well. except for me, I'm knee deep in rosebuds

[RED-DOG]

It's late, Im in that surreal, "It won't make sense in the morning" kinda mood

[RED-DOG]

And I've been at the cough medicine

[NoflopsHomer]

When as a child I laughed and wept, time crept

And then when I became a man, time ran

When my life was almost through, time flew

Now at my back I often hear, times winged charriot drawing near



Gather your rosebuds while you may guys, they are not long the days of wine and roses

Is that Alfred Lord Tennison?

[RED-DOG]

The "Winged chariot" line was Andrew Marvel

I don't know about the rest, I may have made it up

[RED-DOG]

Oh, and the rosebuds is by Robert Herrik


Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old Time is still a-flying:
And this same flower that smiles to-day
To-morrow will be dying.

The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun,
The higher he's a-getting,
The sooner will his race be run,
And nearer he's to setting.

That age is best which is the first,
When youth and blood are warmer;
But being spent, the worse, and worst
Times still succeed the former.

Then be not coy, but use your time,
And while ye may, go marry:
For having lost but once your prime,
You may for ever tarry.


I have 100's of bits of poetry floating about in my head, some poetry really moves me

[NoflopsHomer]

It was just giving me flashbacks to my days of English Literature at school...

Now think of a number between 1 and 10, and I expect a Futurama type answer
