This and That

Yesterday I felt WONDERFUL! No aches and pains Happy All signs of morbid paranoia gone! I could actually greet people Offer a smile while before…… Before? Well……….. If they were laughing they laughed at me I counted my change so carefully Thought I looked like a patsy Slouched around BUT! Today? All the ‘slings and arrows’ return….. Got up with a sinus headache Cat crapped on the kitchen floor Phone computer t.v. all connection DEAD! Car battery? DEAD! Wife left a note – “Goodby FOREVER! you S.O. B! Took her car AND My mastercard ALL my money Picked up a book Forgot the title So demoralized ‘Ping and Pong’ I dunno I’ll call it ‘This and That’ Well? I thought sure I was in the clutches of ‘That’ THEN I realized With a smile at first THEN A leap of JOY! ‘This’ is the day ‘That’ damn woman Has kissed-off FOREVER!

So then, life is good?? ~lol~ No one writes like you Daver! The 'morbid paranoia and cat crap' - cracked me up - that is until your 'leap of joy' verse! You are so preciously unique. Hilarious! You seem like the kind of person who would help someone really down say "screw it, you're right, life is great!" Cheered me right up. Please, keep writing! Love, Shar

Lot of angst mixed with great humor here, Daver. With all those things going wrong in your life, you still had the ability to us laugh! Surely your wife will return, Daver. (She probably has already.) How could anyone leave such a loving, sweet man? You know how to reach me if you'd like to chat. Love, Carolyn
