Alarmed and Dangerous! (Warning: Definitely vulgar and contains illicit material)
By Kathy
23 March 2007
I heard an odd rumour that the younger generation thought middle-aged women to be boring...

This poem is very rude and should not be read by said 'younger generation'. Apologies to Jenny Joseph fans - it's nothing like that.

Kathy

I'm a boring little housewife.
Hubby, kids and tea with friends.
But, you wouldn't want to know
what I get up to at week-ends!

For I take my little pinny off,
remove my comfy drawers
and I go outside 'Commando'
(even if it's cold outdoors)!

My ironing is a miracle
my cooking is orgasmic -
(but that's all the fun that Bert gets
since his groin's a little spasmic).

I've always been the goodest girl,
homework: apple for my teacher.
My childhood was quite dull, well ...
(that one stroke from our lay preacher...)

But that's all one,
I'm through with dust!
On week-end nights
I hoist my bust
into my see-through studded bra
and head straight for the nearest bar.

It's lovely down our local pub;
our group is called 'The Danger Club'.
We down neat shots
and belch quite shocking
(in between comparing shopping).

We cheer when asked to leave the pub
then stagger to the 'Go-Go' club
and vomit on young men in queues:
insult the girls and cry in loos.

We're dangerous to know you see!
We'll sit on drains and have a pee!
We'll hassle passers-by with fists
and jay walk stupid motorists!

Then, when the evening gets too calm,
I set off my 'personal alarm'
and turn it to its highest pitch
and call that policewoman a witch.

And then, I wave my can of mace
and spray it in that PC's face,
shouting, "You'd better not mess with us
cos we're alarmed and dangerous!"

I think they like me in the cells
cos I give them all a clean as well,
I keep a duster in my bra
(it's true, old habits do die hard).

Well... I think that it's been worth the risk
I quite enjoy my weekly frisk.
But I just don't know what they think I hide
up in my 'Continental Divide'...

And then at last, I'm free as air
I stagger home without a care!
Vomit in my husband's hat
give his 'little man' a pat
stumble twice and kick the cat
shouting, "Who the F--- did you call fat?"

But soon, I don't feel very well,
get into bed and snore like hell -
and dream of cooking Sunday dinner
(a nicely rolled out join's a winner).

So, now you know just what we do
us middle-aged homely housewife 'crew'.
We're a 'monstrous regiment' of maids -
so you can laugh, but -
'be afraid, be very afraid'!

Well as a member of the younger generation (technically at least) I thought this was great. Third stanza especially...Like it a lot

I'm not quite sure how to reply to this one. I'm afraid i'm one of those who belongs to the group "When I am old, I will wear purple" sorts of people.

Hello Ladies 
 
Elli, glad you liked it, I was in a wicked mood as you can probably guess! It's nice to give you 'youngsters' a bit of a shock every now and again... 
 
Jean, I don't know what to say either ... sorry, would probably be a good start I think! This is not autobiographical as I hope that you can guess! Reality is probably rather more mundane, thank god..

Liked this and as a member of the said generation do sometimes think 'if only' it could certainly give the 'youngsters a run for their money.

Your weekends sound like a quiet night in Newcastle, even when it's freezing cold with arctic blasts blowing through the Haymarket the city is full of these half naked young ladies intent on causing havoc. 
It's great. 
I liked the poem a lot - can't beat a good laugh.

Well, I'd join your posse if I could, and what a nightmare for my kids. They still haven't gotten over the time I had two glasses of wine on my birthday and had to be accompanied to the ladies' room.  
 
Funny poem, Kathy.

LOL. I just wrote a poem about cynical middle-aged people the other day, but I deleted it on second thought, considering that the majority over here is of such an age. And now you prove it totally wrong as well, so I'm glad I did delete it :p

Well, I'm glad that you all like a laugh!!! Here's to you all. I start slurring after one glass Mary so I can beat you there! 
 
Slightly taking the Michael out of 'kids' complaining about us being 'boring' and wondered whether they would like us to start behaving in a similar way to some of them? I think that it would be very good to give them all a good 'run for their money' as Lizzy says. Sigh, I'd forgotten what I'd been missing...! 
 
I know what you mean about Newcastle Cliff, same in most cities after dark I think! 
 
Fledermaus, I think that you should post your poem about miserable older people, I think that there are plenty of those... it would be fun to read. 
 
Off to warm up my nipple clamps!

Middle aged ?
Written by patterjack (1193 comments posted) 23rd March 2007
Where does it start and end ?  
 
I turn 78 next month , so I assume I am past it -- well into my anecdotage . 
 
But on the cusp of my old age I did meet one or two of your John Knox-denounced ladies who were erupting against their own biological clock problems , and their desperation was palpable. 
 
Oh hormones , hormones .  
 
When males with mental mid-life crises meet such biological bombs it is tsunami time . 
 
Metaphor , mixed or not , cannot convey the results .

Dear Brian 
 
Even your postings are a work of art! I should like to cut and paste this one and frame it!! 'anecdotage' & 'tsunami time', marvellous! 
 
I should love you to write a poem about such a meeting of febrile hormones! 
 
Only our descendants would be able to determine our middle ages Brian, unless we could work it out at our moment of passing ... but I expect that then we might have better things to do.

Thoroughly enjoyed Kathy. Besides anything else, it raised a few laughs.  
 
Honestly? I know at 39 I still have it in me to misbehave - I just don't do it so often. I've not been inside a police car since I was seventeen either. Middleaged malarky can be a little more circumspect. 
 
Good stuff. 
 
Phil.

Excellent stuff - enjoyed it very much! 
 
Looks like our wild generation have met our match! ;)

Phil, glad you had a good laugh, glad to be of service! 
 
JourneyAtNight, We were your generation once!
