Till Its Gone

I've been told the phrase, "you never know what you've got till it's gone"
I'd like to test this hypothesis with a short unfinished list.
Taxes, hospital bills, house payments, car repairs, insurance premiums, inflation
indigestion, flatulence, inflammation, arthritis and.... man-something dysfunction.
oh aye, I see it now! If only I imagine all these things have gone from me.
I never knew how bad adulting headaches got, I hope they go and flee.
