Don'Tcha Just Love 'Em

DONTCHA JUST LOVE 'EM

Think today's gonna be a good one
Not really feeling all that bad
Except for a pain in my right leg
And my back aches just a tad

Oh forgot to mention my sinuses
They've been acting up of late
My eyesight isn't what it used to be
And lately my hearing's not great

I try to ignore the pains in my knees
All my joints are starting to creak
Recently lost feeling in my fingers
Been constipated for about a week

I've developed a boil on my buttocks
That bothers me a lot when I sit
Have a little problem with my teeth
They're false but they're not a great fit

Aside from that, I'm feeling quite fine
Of course I have this mental problem
Must keep taking my meds each day
Golden Years, dontcha just love 'em!

Carol Eastman June 26, 2015 at 9:53 AM WOW! Our only problem is rain. Dragon helped me put some sunshine on a selfie stick. Grandpa Troll holds the umbrella while I get the doggies to go some where other than my patio. Hubby brings a shovel and wench for when Dragon gets stuck in the mud. We won't hose him down. I'll just call that gully washer over to come do it for us. We're on a first name basic. His name is Fred, and he'll follow me anywhere. REALLY! Now if I could only make him leave the sunshine on my selfie stick ALONE! Jack Ellison June 26, 2015 at 9:35 PM Actually, this is the complete opposite of this healthy old guy!!! Gonna live forever... love, Jack xxx
