万花筒 2009-01-11&01-12 活到老玩到老

（单词翻译）

If you forgive the spare bit of a philosophy, I think it was George Bernard Shaw who said “We don't stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing.”

"That was bad."

 Yeah, real nice Shaw. Try to pick up of a twelve-pound ball with an 80-year-old back. Then see how philosophical¹ you feel.

“As you get older, you still bowl. You just aren’t as good. "Take it from these ladies.

 "Chronologically challenged we are.” The Ally kats.

"What is our name?. I forgot. "

The Frisky² Kats, the Wild Kats, and the Kit³ kats,

 "Oh, no! boo”

This clearly is a group in need of some maturity⁴.

“Ah!”

That's where Elsie Giles comes in.

“I got this stiff neck from looking to see if Elsie's coming.” She is the senior member.

“Emma Siecral, are you?”

Getting more senior today,

“I don’t think Elsie is coming.”

“She probably went to get dressed.”

If only she gets here. As soon as you see her coming, everybody start singing happy birthday.

“Happy birthday to you. ”

“Many, many more Elsies. ”

“Elsie is 89-years young today. ”

“She is good for her age. ”

“She is our heart. She is hot. ”

“Everybody wants a good average, you know. I like to win. ”

She jumped rope into her 70s when dancing with her husband until they got quote / unquote "elderly". 

"I just have always loved to be active."

Now, at 89, she is the role model for these girls who obviously require some adults' supervision⁵.

“I told that stinker to go down. ” In a bowling⁶ league where reading glasses outnumber resin⁷ bags. .

I couldn’t hit the board side of a barn.

 "You only have to picks up two more."

" I will note. "

And bodies begin to balk⁸. A lot of ladies have arthritis⁹ really bad. Elsie doesn't want to get feel philosophical. She just wants to keep playing. We just are people who don't give up.
