Alive But Iffy

The best way to tell if you're still alive Is to breathe on a window pane If the window suddenly starts to fog up You're alive but its iffy all the same Shouldn't have to use this old time method Normally you really should know To help your loved ones feel more at ease You should move every hour or so They really get worried and start to fret If you haven't moved for days Think the grim reaper had stolen you away A silly game at times you play So smile damn it, your face won't crack It's made to show happy and stuff Life could definitely be a whole lot worse If they find you outside in the buff © Jack Ellison 2014

I sat still WAY too much this winter with bad weather. With snow shoveling and all, I thought I'd been busy. Apparently not. The first time in my garden, I couldn't get up. So I simply just crawled down the line while planting flowers, tho they are few... The last time I got up, I hurt both my legs and ankles. Both? Bummer! But not to worry Dragon and Grandpa Troll have kept me busy this week and I'm ready to run around again. Apparently sitting in a chair didn't build leg muscles... Silly me!
