In honor of my identical twin sister Carolyn who has a broken neck and broken 6 and 7 vertebrae in her back and will have rods put into her neck on September 14th.
Time took a running start and kicked me in the back Breaking my C-2 Vertebrae. No biggie. I have had worse. I take a swig on my cig. Neck brace? Sure. Why not? Time slams a Chevy into the back of my car. Breaking numbers six and seven in my back. Time is kicking my ass this month I guess. Luckily, my neck is already broken, so win-win for me. Time gives me osteoporosis and shingles. Two things I never realized I needed. The benefits and joys of being seventy. Come get me time. Give me your next best shot.
