A general observation
I have been visiting Grandma
She's 96 in the old folks home
She drinks prune juice
There are very few men
They are referred to has my deceased
I'm thinking this could be a bad sign for me
The old ladies are eyeing me like a new puppy
At least somewhat potty trained
and still have clumps of my own hair
Are they guarding their wheelchairs?
The real hunks drive motorized wheelchairs
Or can stay awake past seven Pm
As an observer I look about
Advancing in age, I look at facts
Men my age have a no real life expectancy,
eighty to eighty two years!
That leaves me about two years.
So instead of a new car I looked about for a motorized wheelchair!
Twenty to one the women sitting in wheelchairs
Mumbling, moaning and talking to themselves!
Remembering to nag their long dead husbands
Somewhat like my poetry writing.
Women live longer than men,
and yes the mumbling, they bitch allot!
But what else can lead to longevity?
So I looked at it scientifically!
Women drink wine and men drink whiskey.
I have decided to become a Wino!
Avoid wheelchairs as long as I can.
Men use canes, women use walkers,
I have a walker handy, throwing away my cane.
Next week, we well talk about dogs, as pets instead of cats.
Women keep as pets far more cats!
I am not into creatures with evil eyes.
that I cannot trust to be scratching me.
Especially those in the house
Not doing the manly thing catching rats.
Though licking is a problem with dogs!
There are some who have said
Having thoughts like these
May be the reason I fell backwards down the stairs,
and not forward as my wife would do,
and shortening my life expectancy somewhat.
Why I might need a walker sooner than I wanted.
I fight them off with my cane and drink Jim Beam straight up.
With women you really can't take the bull by the horns,
At least in my generation you couldn't't.
