Another Cockamammy Trick

My sister Lucille tried levitating
A practice which she found elevating
One foot up, then plop
Her body it dropped
And her arthritis is escalating.

You had to add arthritis - I have it in both my ankles! Ugh!

I have it mostly in my right knee, but I'm quite an accomplished weather forecaster!

That’s the cause of her bruises and blisters, what goes up must come down… even sisters. ;-)

Indeed, Terry. Seems like she would give it up, at her age!

Like Kenny Rojers would sing. " You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille." " Instead of levitating just climb a hill." " it's much safer to do, that is my advice to you." Hope you enjoyed Milton. Did you have your eye surgery yet and if you did how are you? Forgive my attempt at humor lol with the Rhyme of Lucille...

(chuckling) Enjoyed it. I got through my cataract surgery yesterday just fine. I see my eye doctor today at 2, but everything appears to be just fine. I'm still wearing a patch.
