Jack Ellison Poet Narrative

It's a Golf Cart From Now On

Gonna start using a golf cart to get around

Till they finally read me my last rights

Feeling a bit under par

In golf terms, that's really good

In health terms... hmmm not so good

Don't be alarmed though

Just the normal aches and pains

Of old age creeping up on me

Whatever happened to my golden years

They were supposed be filled with

Happiness,  joy and laughter

More like a double bogey for yours truly

Definitely need a handicap... no wait

I already have one, it's called old age!

Carol Eastman June 24, 2014 at 1:10 PM Think my Dad's feeling it too. He's staying in Arizona this summer... I told him I'd fly him out here and he fussed with a He__ No! Stubborn old fart wouldn't let me or my brother Dale Drive him in his truck either!... A touch more child like than last year. That worries me... Him being sooo many states away... He talks good on the phone... but beginning to wonder if he needs someone around a little closer to check on him... He lives alone. But I want to give him his freedom for as long as possible... Decisions... Decisions... Jack Ellison June 25, 2014 at 7:23 AM Us old farts do tend to get stubborn as we age! So far, I'm still of sound mind and body BUT signs indicate that normal changes are on the way! Eventually, I'm sure he will realize he needs someone else around... we all do! XOXOX
