Old Is Not For Sissies

We old folks know what day it is
by the things we don't repeat!  
And when Tuesday rolls around
We drag the garbage to the street! 

Wednesday means the can comes in 
And NEVER would we forget
That way we know its Thursday 
And on Friday we can sit!

Saturday and Sunday 
company's at the door
look forward to the gifts
Who could ask for anything more?

Thanks for the number for Al's Maintenance, I may need some repairs done around the house. I don't want to use up valuable Tennis time.

The thing about getting older is that not everyone has the priveledge. I'm getting close to retirement so I'd better study the finer points and get my schedule in order.
