More Ups Than Downs

Life has many ups and downs Personally more ups than downs A happy life with many more years A bunch more smiles than frowns Surely one of the fortunate ones The genes were a very huge factor Nine girls and me at a baseball team Each game we had our own sector Yup nine girls and then li'l ole me The talk of our little old berg The Ellison's have finally had a boy Biggest news our town had heard Dancing in the streets all night long A celebrity at a tender young age So spoiled with all those girls around To fawn over this sweet wee babe Turned out to be a stunning specimen Can still bring it at eighty-nine! It's getting to be a lot tougher though But that's it I'm feeling just fine!

Would have guessed it dear Anne! As for me I've never lived in a big city!

Not in the big cities - I live in the country, quiet and peaceful

At my age it's a blessing! Must stay alert and safe... if only people of the world can be trusted!!! Wouldn't that be a wonderful day! Is Norway a relatively safe country?
