Don'T Wanna Claim It

Dang heart flutters, clutching at me... little hard to catch my breath, these days been running hard, feeling like I done gone and run the marathon without training They trying to tell me ... That I'm Under the weather again... humpf. They are telling me of all people -- to take it easy... they don't know me to well, do they ~ Never been much on complaining... that takes too much energy... Although it seems that My body is a wee bit tired lately, needing a little rest that's all... too tell the truth I ain't 'bout ta claim nobody's illness Not today nor any t'other I'm standing here for the third time they say three's a charm... hey--hey Now! Fat lady sing if you must, but just you know I ain't going no where, shoot, if the tune be right... I might just sang along with you... play me that song sweet music man ~ Tell 'em all I'm still striving to do the best I can... See I got a whole lot more living to do and I ain't gonna claim that ticket, No, I don't wanna cash it all in -- just yet...

Excellent Write ... (smile) I chuckled and agreed right along with you on this one Adell (as they say go gracefully into that good night - well, that's the last option, I'll take, fighting tooth and nail (LOL) and then, only then, when I can't move anymore, I'll gain some more pounds and sing (smile) ... Your Friend, MoonBee
