About old women

Someday I'll be a grandmother
Gray-haired and gnarled old woman
In a greasy old apron,
With a pillow tied to the pope.
And, crawling uncertainly,
Helping yourself with a stick ...
No, no, I'm not sure at all
That I'll be such an old lady.
With a cigarette between my teeth
With a glittering earring in your ear
I'll be an old flirt
To the envy of other old women.
I will be a friend of my granddaughter
And to the grandson - dance partners.
I will watch porn
And compose romances.
I will tell my grandchildren
They don't know yet
That life is an interesting thing
That life is so interesting.
I will teach them to laugh
In a voice, not furtively,
I'll teach them to hold on
For life this stranglehold.
And somehow in a snowy winter,
Drinking your brandy
I will close my eyes,
I will say: "I lived well!"
