Where Once I Walked

Where once I walked I now idly talk Where once I ran I lie down to tan Where once I laughed I now am daft Where once I slept I now resurrect Where once I dreamed I now apply cold cream

Cold cream in the shadows..ahem, I digress! You gave me a good laugh…where once I laughed, now I am daft. As older people we size up people from many angles. How funny I saw a meme that was supposed to read angels and instead said angles…lol! Getting back the sillies, thankfully! Keep me laughing, dear friend!

One Kim Rodrigues... started with angels... pivoted to angles... and then entered Lost Angeles, courtesy of THE TWILIGHT ZONE.~ Doo-doo doo-doo; doo-doo, doo-doo...daaaaaaaaah!

It is reassuring to read your humorous poem Gershon on getting old. I am at the stage I count the bits of me that are left. Keep smiling, Shirley

Well, there's always a remedy for staying whole, I say: Go to any surgeon and tell him: Cut me to pieces. For the right price, how many of these so-called Doctors would refuse today?!

Time has been both a friend and an 'enemy.' I try to block out the enemy stuff. :) gw

I’m unfamiliar with this scenario, GW… ever since I changed 1959 to 1989 on my birth certificate. I would have gone with 1999 but you can’t change a 5 to a 9. C’est la vie.

That's right, Terry. That's why we work '9 to 5' and not '5 to 9.' heh, heh! C'est la guerre.

Signs of getting on in years but you're certainly not alone Gershon. Tom

'Getting on in years?' Do you mean 'Getting it on this year?!' For sure! :) gw
