“The calendar turns with indiscriminate savagery” ” – “This Is What I Want” by Craig Lancaster

So after a long day and a late supper we retired to bed, two dog tired, old folks.

My wife, in a rare moment of dry wit offered: “So do you want to be on top or should I be on top.”

Eyes pop open, stunned by the implication.

Several awkward seconds pass as I digest the possibilities. Finally I blurt out – “Please tell me you’re not serious.”

Dead silence and then we both break out in raucous laughter which lasts for several minutes.

At this point, even though I don’t smoke, I needed a cigarette.

Sex in your seventies.
