A retired person can live three lifetimes in ten years as apposed to us younger ones who are still working 10 hours a day. I always enjoy your humor Jack. Do drop by for a visit. You might find some humor in my latest piece.

Unless one uses the weatherman's inverse (or perverse?) table of probabilities: 50% chance of rain means 75% of the time you're gonna get wet! (might have screwed up the punch line, I just heard this the other day;-) GOOD MORNING JACKSON!!! At 50/50, I'm gonna say there's a 75% chance I'm gonna read your sillies tomorrow morning! ~ jj

You don't have much time? I bet you have a lot of time my friend, but enjoy each day as if it was your last, that way you can get the most out of your mornings, afternoons, and nights...especially the nights with the moon and the stars up above! The beauty is astounding, just like your incredible poetry Jackson! This poem fits the bill of your awesome humor! What an excellent piece, Great Work!!
