Please just put me down

I have a former neighbor, an older female friend,
who clearly does most thinking from the other end..
Many a time I should put my phone on mute.
Today she called chuckling, criticizing Blinken's tie and suit..
Failing to acknowledge nor recognize why he makes so
many trips to meet with our allies..
If I should regress to this level of pettiness whwen seventy-eight,
please just put me down.
I'd be deserving of my fate..
