Our Global Playpen

Woke up grinning like a silly old fool Is there something I can take for that Maybe a new pill that's just hit the market A cure-all to save humanity and our cat Household pets are worth saving too In fact they are first to be given a pass An average life span will eventually be 150 What will I do sitting on my ass Well let's see I could write a classic Like a famous Overture in C Major or such Or invent a new mode of transportation New York to LA in a nano-touch How about a new food to tickle our fancy Yummy yummy tween me and you A new drink to make us more intelligent Finally no more known as a goof Still woke grinning like a silly old fool So what could be the reason then Must be something like a big bunch of gas Or more likely it's earth's playpen

"If I Could Turn Back Time," the song says, but I think I wouldn't if I could. And, I can't imagine living these 80 years all over again. A goof you are not, my friend. You brighten my day!

We're certainly living longer, back in the dark days anything past forty was a bonus. Tom
