Uh Oh!

Woke up one night unable to sleep. Thought to myself to the bathroom I'll creep. Don't want to wake my wife like before, As I quietly tip toe across the floor. Can't sleep at night of late it seems. I toss and I turn and have crazy dreams. I look in the mirror above the sink. Oh No! Oh My God! I Think I Need A Drink! Am I going Crazy!? This couldn't be worse! I must have contracted a family curse! I look like the Wolf Man! Oh No! This can't be! Oh say it ain't so! This can't be me! Then I wake up. I'm safe in my bed. No more hair than normal on chest, face and head. I look at my wife so gentle and sweet. As she lay here beside me and quietly sleeps. Then I look closer. Is that long hair for sure? On her arms and her hands! Oh there must be a cure!

Great one, Judy! … Funny though, I look in the mirror and see the Wolf Man every night! Hmm... Smiles, Gershon (Wolf)
