Come Together- At One Hundred Two

Here come old grandpa He come movin' up slowly He got, big-a-belly He got, roley-poley He got, hair...on his ears He got to be a grandpa he lived so many years He drink- no more, moonshine He got, gout toeitus He got, monkey back He shoot, insulin He say, I don't... remember you One thing he should know is that he's one hundred and two He lacks production He got, two sets of dentures He got, always sidetrack He got, soup and crackers He got, gout, down...on his feet Sitting in his wheelchair he's got old-age disease Does he remember, right now- he's one hundred and two He can't use a toaster He got, cold- needs a warming He got, dementia He lost, mojo filter He say, one and one and one is four Got to be dementia 'cause he can't add anymore Does he remember, right now, he's one hundred and two

Yikes, blessed are the truly aged folks...102! I hope that's not what's in store for me. My grandmother was 101 when she passed...her mind was still sharp as was her wit. She wasn't as mobile but that didn't seem to bother her any...she never drank moonshine or smoked a cigarette. She remained gracious until the day she died, quietly and in her sleep, just the way she wanted. I enjoyed your write, Sara

God bless her lovely soul, Sara. This is jus' a comical take on the Beatles song "Come Together" I "Imagine" this could've been John Lennon's- re-make. (lol) Blessings, dear friend...Have a wonderful weekend!
