Can It Be Fixed

New shingles refresh a roof,
a sagging ceiling drywalled,
a cracked window repaired,
a busted door reinstalled.

When cooler heads do prevail,
arguments can be resolved.
But words of anger and hate,
once spoken can’t be recalled…

I really need those 'cooler heads,' Jerry, since I have all the afflictions you mentioned: I've got shingles, my chest is sagging, the skin on my fingers is cracked, and my knees are busted. HELP!

They gave us AI. Maybe next will be robot bodies. Then they can put our cooler heads on them and Vwalla.
