I'm afraid that as a humorous statement goes, this is too minimal even for me to think able to stand alone without a smiley...

It's never really possible to recommend a language in the absence of some statement of what you want to do with it. Programming is a rather broad field, these days.
While I have never used them, what I do know makes me think the suggestions of Python and Ruby are reasonable, but they are what we call "general purpose" languages. Good for everything, but without any special features for any specific kind of application. All the domain-specific stuff that might be available to work in specific application areas comes from libraries, of which there are many.
If you said a little about what sort of program you want to write, a more specific recommendation would be possible.

I am sorry. Not enough data. Because I did not know myself what I needed. But as the replies came in and looking at the programs, I came to the conclusion, that it must be a low learning curve. Do not need it for a living, just fun.
Then I re-suggest Tcl/Tk. See http://tcl.tk. There is a Usenet group accessible via google (http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.tcl/topics?hl=en) for it (and most other languages) where you can ask when you stumble. It is a very friendly and helpful group. They are very welcoming to beginners. It is in fact a very simple language. The rules are few, and it is consistent. Don't let age decide for you. You may be surprised what you can do. And there is encouragement to be had.
Many thanks, Regards, Johan Sch
