Great Granddad Limerick

Stupendous, terrific, wondrous and more.
Great granddad is happier than the days before.
What is it? I ask.
But he now wears a mask.
His Alzheimer’s kicked in at thirteen after four.

Can't pinpoint why, but 'thirteen after four' is such a howl! And I needed a howl and a yowl today! Thanks! ~ Wolfman

You are so welcome. My neighbor has Alzheimer's and her daughter says she is worse on overcast days, better on sunny days, and really gets well at 4:00 on sunny days. Who am I to judge?
