Highlights From Highland Manor

Highlights from Highland Manor Courtesy Goofus and Gallant who began their broadly-drawn moral plays in the 1950s, initially depicted as identical twins, but later on, editors for Highlights indicated the two were brothers, but not twins, and by 1995, they simply existed as two unrelated boys. Analogously, ineptly, and uniformly juxtaposed slipshod verse best flushed down toilet or slid down into the behavioral sink of garbage disposal, yours truly presents the following worthless trademark worded poetic drek. Since this then year July first two thousand and seventeen, tubby more precise where with thee missus, and I dwell amidst bucolic environs, shuffling back where buffalo used to roam, one sandy randy handy dandy chap could don “I hate boys” underwear Schwenksville, Pennsylvania trees abundant with leaves of grass spare zip code: one nine four seven three, unmotivated to partake of mental exercises just sitting on me rear this resident doth not find ***** disproportionate amount of time, he spends never to overhear lack of being ambulatory t'will be near the mostly soundproof walls inside apartment b44 assigned midyear, one bedroom living social space gives ample opportunity to assess linear ratcheting kvetching asper elderly folks inching along chronological space/time continuum purposefulness tis unlike to leer that one day (fast as snap of fingers), me haint give a rats ass what rumor fishmongers relish, and behind me back jeer since old people lack for fragile as jasperware before each major chord din hated since becoming housed here and oft time cannot hear even without television blasting away, no doubt harboring anticipatory anxiety sans, frankly zaps, this dude looks like a lady, while making love in an elevator cuz ah ma longish bedraggled hydrogen peroxide tinted hair many experience diminution grim reaper's unannounced visit metaphorical cog and gear of vital sensory organs, they capable of inducing fear their non verbal body language speaks volumes analogous to a frightened deer, when caught blindsided within bright lights of an automobile 'ere unsure which way to go, as a hollowed out existence each precious moment 'ere induces me to declare to maximize utilizing and dashing out in the thick of evening rush hour traffic, lacking notion, the figurative coast not clear when aye espy and stride-rite past, an old lady or man riding shotgun securely strapped in wheelchair, or trudging to common all purpose gathering place subsequently doting bucks killed upon scrutinizing what doth appear and upon limitation in physical functionality, aye aim to appear, where birds of prey, thence loftily circle gracefully analogous to rocketing fame of Aerosmith gliding within upper atmospheric air.
