Language Lesson

Language Lesson I spend most of my time alone or with my wife; she sits in the kitchen watching soap. And I didn´t know how lonely I was before I ended up in a hospital and shared the ward with six, like me, elderly men who had lived unhealthy and now had to pay the piper. Modest, I said nothing, but they sort of dragged me into their conversation It was great fun I spoke Portuguese without worrying about grammar and we laughed a lot. I´m home now sit writing these few words, the TV is on low and my wife sits in the kitchen and I miss the old men.
