Retired Romance 1st of Sequence- " Ike " and Jane "

...Now I ain't without notoriety,
Fact is.. I'm an old stalker with a walker.
She was big in the Purple Hat Society
and broke her hip,...while playing soccer.

When I met her, she was on the mend,
and she knew.. what I was after...
and I said I'd catch her when I can,
She said to push that walker a lil' faster.

She had her a "lectric wheel chair,
I just had my old walker and me,
she was pretty fast for a blue hair...
"till I crashed into her I.V. tree...

Well, they fitted my leg with plaster,
and I kinda forgot what I was after...
"till one day,
she wheeled in to see me,
Yep.  Said she'd come ta free me!

Now we sit together,
cozy up and talk about the weather.
We compare wrinkled tatoos,
and guess what they are,
we may share a shot of booze,
we don't go too awful far...

We keep our orthepedic shoes
under the same bed,
and I retired as a walker stalker,
meals on wheels keeps us fed
and we keep our teeth...
in the very same locker.

("Nite Nite, Darlin.")

LOL! This is so funny and one that I can relate with ...My mother was a nurse in geriatrics and I having been a C.N.A for over 25 years worked in nursing homes and this reminds me of married couple that we used to care for. Wonderful imagery ...and so very cute. Thanks so much for sharing and for the laugh and memories. Also many thanks too for taking the time to read my writes and your kind comments are much appreciated! Have a terrific day~Mary
