Retired Romance : Repost

...Now I ain't without notoriety, Fact is.. I'm an old stalker with a walker. She was big in the Purple Hat Society and broke her hip,...while playing soccer. When I met her, she was on the mend, and she knew.. what I was after... and I said I'd catch her when I can, She said to push that walker a lil' faster. She had her a "lectric wheel chair, I just had my old walker and me, she was pretty fast for a blue hair... "till I crashed into her I.V. tree... Well, they fitted my leg with plaster, and I kinda forgot what I was after... "till one day, she wheeled in to see me, Yep. Said she'd come ta free me! Now we sit together, cozy up and talk about the weather. We compare wrinkled tatoos, and guess what they are, we may share a shot of booze, we don't go too awful far... We keep our orthepedic shoes under the same bed, and I retired as a walker stalker, meals on wheels keeps us fed and we keep our teeth... in the very same locker. ("Nite Nite, Darlin.") First of Ike and Jane sequence...Reposted to help PD with smiles request. : )

Oh Robert, hilarious. I worked with seniors and so much of this is true except I never knew a pair that kept their shoes under the same bed! You take fun to great levels!
