A Few More Screws Loose


            A few more screws loose, some buttons missing
                  forgetful more often than not

            Some days better, most days worse
                   just part of the prep for casket and hearse

Yeah, Who was it that wrote about The Golden Years? Some twenty-year old, no doubt.

I think he/she'd turned twenty-eight already. At any rate, he/she was a true reservoir of knowledge, eh?

Yep, know the feeling. Hearse did you say? Or curse? Not so certain with myself.

That's exactly how I felt today. I most definitely have a few screws loose in the top paddock.

Well. That leaves all the bottom paddocks in good shape, at least. Smiles, Gershon
