Old Age

WAIT, WHAT DID I COME IN HERE FOR? YOUR MEMORY AND YOU PLAY TUG-OF-WAR. I COULD SWEAR THAT WAS MY PASSWORD. YOUR SIGN NOW READS, DO NOT DISTURB. SORRY, I FORGOT WHAT I WAS SAYING. MY BONES CLICK AND MY HAIR IS GREYING. WHY, IS THIS PRINT SO TINY? YOU CAN'T IMAGINE TURNING NINETY. STUPID SCALE, THAT CAN'T BE RIGHT. BLAME IT ON YOUR FAILING SIGHT. YOU WONDER WHERE YOU GOT THE BRUISE. DID YOU FORGET TO TIGHTEN THE SCREWS? YOU CAN'T RECALL IF YOU TOOK YOUR MEDICINE. ONE THING IS FOR SURE I KNOW I'M AN AMERICAN. MOST THINGS ARE NOT OPEN FOR DEBATE. WHO THE HELL IS CALLING THIS LATE? TURBO1904

I’d love to tell you what I think of this but I forgot. But I’m sure it was nice. John
