Maxine
Maxine, the comic strip character, is a favorite of mine,
She is so sarcastic that it is almost a crime,
She tells it like it is and I like it that way,
You never know what she is going to say,
She pokes fun at herself, which is always refreshing,
Her dog’s face shows utter embarrassment, I’m guessing,
She is so relatable and just shy of rude,
But her grumpy demeanor puts me in a good mood,
She is crabby and crass, with a bit of charm,
She has her opinion and it does no one harm,
“Everyone is entitled to my opinion”, she barks,
Just one of many of her insightful remarks,
She will make no excuses for being herself,
Maxine is not ready to be put on a shelf,
She’s got a lot of life left in her to share,
A sassy senior with cool-looking hair,
Her flashy sunglasses & adorable hats- I’m liking a lot,
Her exercise routine consists of doing “diddly squats”,
She says: “I’m not crabby, the world is extremely irritating”,
Of course, growing old is certainly debilitating!
But Maxine brings a flavor that never gets old,
She is a favorite because she is rowdy and bold.
