The 'Less-than-Perfect' Club


              Ever sit forever on the can
                as your backdoor ran, spoiling your plans
              Or fall asleep at the keys
                type a zillion zzzzzzzzzzzzzs

              Eat a sloppy joe with your fingers
                 Leaving plenty for the ants who linger
              Forget your cap when it rained
                 Ruining that new hairstyle once again… 

               Join the club of the ‘less-than-perfect’ 
                  of us who admit it, there is surely no surfeit

lol, Gershon, good one! How about being on a diet for over two months and not losing one ounce. No joke, lol! My nurse practitioner wants me to take weight loss drugs, no thanks. Shalom u’vrakha :))))
