Hoo-Ya, Hoo-Ya, Ziss Boom Bah

Hoo-ya, hoo-ya, ziss boom bah! My doctor has given me a thumbs up I'm good to go for another year Let's see, how should I celebrate? Perhaps I'll try going a day without my walker Just kidding! I don't use a walker Hoo-ya, hoo-ya, ziss boom bah! Maybe I'll try dressing myself today Last time I tried that, I wore checks with stripes A major “faut pas” in the fashion world I was laughed out of the local coffee shop Perhaps coz I was wearing shorts, a bowtie And NOTHING else!!! Hoo-ya, hoo-ya, ziss boom bah! My adult diapers are starting to give me a rash Methinks it's those damn No-Name brands People kept asking, “Why are you walking that way?” Told them it's an old war injury! Hoo-ya, hoo-ya, ziss boom bah! Gonna close now. Wife Cathie made me some porridge Told me it's good for my toidy habits She usually knows what's best for me so I listen The doc just gave me a thumbs up So I'll keep doing what Cathie says! © Jack Ellison 2014

Wise choice to listen to Cathie. I say: The more you listen to your wife, The happier the marriage. LOL! Hubby agrees. Thank goodness he always gives me suggestions on what to say! No wonder he agrees! Ah! Now I get it! Hey! Oh Well! If it works, run with it, as I say! No Dragon! I won't listen to you like I do to Hubby! You always get me in trouble. Besides Hubby says it's not wise to listen to Dragon without checking with him first! Smart Hubby! Silly Dragon! He's right, of course! So that's what I always say!

Feel pretty good for an old dude! But it doesn't hurt to have a doctor confirm it! You are always so supportive, my dear Upma! Thanks again... loving hugs XXX
