This got a smile out of me too. We can't cheat death forever, but we have a shot at outliving our enemies as long as we drink enough Coke. The picture is very effective in this short piece. Thank you for sharing,

If I was that happy at that age, I don't think I would mind getting older; it's the thought of getting to that age and not being able to do anything for myself anymore that's scary. A well written piece. Good luck in the contest.

More information in author's notes please. What a dear ancient lady getting joy from a bottle of Coke given her.
These people are so happy and thrilled with tiny gifts.
Maybe that's why they live so long. Well done. K xx

Aren't we all? LOL Cute One Line poem. Reminding us to give ourselves credit for still being alive and kicking because as we see around us on a daily basis, people are leaving this world at some very young ages. good luck in the contest.

I love this, and a great smug smile that is!

What a privilege it is for those who get to live to a ripe old age.

Maybe there's something in that Coca cola bottle, could he a scret potion to longevity lol!

Well done, good luck with the contest!

Praise to feeling as smug as you'd like. You earned it!

I enjoyed these few words to go along with the photo.

The picture is marvelous. What a spunky old woman. I would love to be like her when and if I get that age. The poem made me feel good. All the best for the contest.
