Don'Tcha Just Love 'Em

DONTCHA JUST LOVE 'EM Think today's gonna be a good one Not really feeling all that bad Except for a pain in my right leg And my back aches just a tad Oh forgot to mention my sinuses They've been acting up of late My eyesight isn't what it used to be And lately my hearing's not great I try to ignore the pains in my knees All my joints are starting to creak Recently lost feeling in my fingers Been constipated for about a week I've developed a boil on my buttocks That bothers me a lot when I sit Have a little problem with my teeth They're false but they're not a great fit Aside from that, I'm feeling quite fine Of course I have this mental problem Must keep taking my meds each day Golden Years, dontcha just love 'em! © Jack Ellison 2015

WOW! Our only problem is rain. Dragon helped me put some sunshine on a selfie stick. Grandpa Troll holds the umbrella while I get the doggies to go some where other than my patio. Hubby brings a shovel and wench for when Dragon gets stuck in the mud. We won't hose him down. I'll just call that gully washer over to come do it for us. We're on a first name basic. His name is Fred, and he'll follow me anywhere. REALLY! Now if I could only make him leave the sunshine on my selfie stick ALONE!
