Red Hat Society and the Poem "Warning"

By

It explains so much doesn't it?. It's for all of us who had a big shock the first time we heard mother's ( and g.mother's) maxims coming from our own mouths. Yeh, let's shock our kids, embarrass them occasionally. Let's grow old disgracefully - Freedom, here we come!

I Googled this answer: 'Warning', Britain's most popular post-war poem, according to poll conducted by the BBC in 1996. The second line of this poem inspired the formation of America's Red Hat Society, the largest women's social group in the world (which has over 70,000 members and almost 24,000 chapters in the US and 25 other countries) and encourages fun, friendship, freedom and fulfillment. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cACbzanitg

Hats off to you managing to join the RHS. I can't help with your question since I never could get joined up where I live; don't belong to the right socio-economic class, don't you know. Anyway, I hope you have fun; I hear it's fun to belong to (if you're deemed to be "the right sort", of course, lol).
