Nothing to do with off road, nothing to do with anything at all. Other than we all feel the need to have a bit of fun in life. This is for the "old woman" in us all. ;D
WHEN I AM AN OLD WOMAN I SHALL WEAR PURPLE
When I am an old woman I shall wear purple - With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves - and satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter - I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells - And run my stick along the public railings And make up for the sobriety of my youth - I shall go out in my slippers in the rain And pick the flowers in other people's gardens - And learn to spit You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat - And eat three pounds of sausages at a go Or only bread and pickle for a week - And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes. But now we must have clothes that keep us dry - And pay our rent and not swear in the street And set a good example for the children - We must have friends to dinner and read the papers. But maybe I ought to practice a little now? - So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised when suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple!

This poem goes with the idea of yours ;D
LIFE IS SHORT.....ENJOY IT!
Dust if you must,but wouldn't it be better To paint a picture or Write a letter, Bake a cake or plant a seed, Ponder the difference between want and need?
Dust If you must ,but There's not much time, With rivers to swim and mountains to climb, Music to hear and books to read, Friends to cherish and life to lead.
Dust if you must, but the world's out there With the sun in your eyes, the wind in your hair, A flutter of snow, a shower of rain, This day will not come around again.
Dust if you must, but bear in mind, Old age will come, and it's not kind, And when you go, and go you must, You, yourself, will make more dust.
Remember, a house becomes a home when you can write " I love you" on the furniture.
