A Bio of Sort

A Bio of sort I sometimes remember things I didn’t know I knew it comes to me like a clear vision in black and white I like seeing movies in two colours, say, Casablanca as I like the contrasts between white and black. When a child, sweets were rationed, and we had tokens we handed it into the sweet shop, as I didn’t care For sweets, I gave my share to my sister; that was a good thing I still have got my old teeth. My attitude to money is: spend little, be frugal Yet, as an adult, I was a heavy drinker but had the sense not to drink in a nightclub, the cheaper the venue the better I didn’t drink for the décor but to get drunk and lose myself in dreams of a better life. When I finally retired, I had a nest egg and besides my pension to get by; the idea was to travel, but now monies go to pay for medical bills. I have never been eager to exercise, walked a lot and know that I have monster feet and useless My idea is to get a mobility scooter, but the price man The price! I have offered to buy a scooter, but it appears people think I’m rich, which I’m not, just a modest saver; I fear not have money, poverty scars the out of me, I have been there, and is no going back. My Diabetes was under control, and I had legs like Marlene Dittrich and liked to wear shorts to show off my other wise grumpy exterior; then I got a problem with me intestines, and spent days in the hospital; when I came out my Diabetes was out of control, and I feel cross about that But what the hell. many people are worse off than me I still have the ability, to laugh!
