As a small child
I was ignored,
because children
should be seen and not heard.
As an adolescent
I was ignored,
because I was just a silly teenager
with no life experience.
As a young married woman
I was ignored,
because my man knew best.
As a middle aged woman
I was ignored,
because I was bending his ear.
Now, as an old woman
I am ignored,
because I am too old
to understand this modern world…

I know where you're coming from, Val. Many a true word is often written in a poem. Mind you, you and I seem to have got the hang of this 'computer lark', alright, don't we? Tina x
