Poem
Cherish me as I grow old, and am surely liable to forget things. I know how interesting life is and the contentment it brings. I know you'll make excuses to try and be miserable and even try not to go. Now just have a good trip, even though I know your stress will just grow. White, sandy beaches and salt tasted air, with an ocean so cold. Aggravation sets in as we try to put our lawn chairs down to unfold. Breathe, my love, its as simple as remembering the latch on the side. Surely, all you had to do is ask, I'm tired of your old, stubborn pride. Finally, we get our chairs situated and I'm ready to bask in the sun. You ask for sun block and as I search, you assume I brought none. Its just at the bottom of the beach bag, you stubborn old ass! And don't think I don't see you sneaking a sip out of that flask! I turn bronze as I used SPF 40, you chose SPF 15, and look at you. Red as a lobster, mean as crab, and I'm enjoying the view. I tried to tell you, but so stubborn, do you ever plan to listen? Probably not now, nor never, so your skin will always be red and glisten. How are you supposed to relax now that you can't move not even a limb? Our stress free vacation, is as always, starting to look grim. Oh well, aloe you up, and off to dinner we shall go and have some fun. Take some Soma, Lortab, and Xanax and you'll be good and numb. An hour later and you're stress free, and mostly out of that pain. Good thing, because its in the forecast for Florida rain! We'll hobble around the block and get soaking wet from head to toe. Knowing tomorrow you'll be back in pain and stressed so we'll have to go. But its like this every year, we plan to stay, but I know how you are. One or two days of driving makes you stiff from sitting in the car. It'll take the rest of our vacation for you to blister and finally peel. You're the entertainment in my life, and that's why I'm with you still!
