If I ever get to be old, I don’t want to be called a cute
little old man. Little I might be, old I might be, but I’m not cute. Well...
maybe I am... but I don’t want to be
called it.
I’ve heard carers and nurses and the like say of old men ‘Oh,
he’s such a lovely old gentleman.’ I don’t
want to be a lovely old gentleman, either. I want to be a cantankerous old sod
who nobody dares offend because they’re afraid of getting their fingers bitten
off. OK, so I might not have any teeth by then, but I’ll think of something.
That’s if ever I get to be old, of course.
