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?
