59 years old, I cannot believe.
If I haven't learned anything else,
I have learned that
I am about as middle-of-the-road
As a person can get.
Gallop could save a fortune by just asking me.
So I wonder if this is still true
For lately I am feeling very blue.
I worry if the dollar will be worth less than the yuan.
I wonder if I should stock up on the yuan.
I worry that if I get sick that I will become penniless.
I wonder if the medicine I take is laced with some debilitating poison.
I worry that I will run out of money before I die.
I wonder how penniless elderly people survive,
or are they just dead instead.
Do you know of any penniless elderly people?
I don't.
I don't remember my parents and their friends
needing to have their knees replaced or even limping.
I wonder if a planned obsolescence has been introduced for knees.
I have already had one repaired, not replaced.
Sometimes I feel like an alien to this place when I hear the news.
So many people are doing so many hateful things to others.
Sometimes, when I am driving,
I am assaulted by outright rage
from a 20-something female driver.
You would think that I was purposely trying to harm her,
the vitriol is so intense.
When this happens, I want to run home and stay there again.
Actually, I don't venture out a lot these days.
Too many people seem angry
And I am trying really hard to save.
Thankfully there are some safety zones.
"Barnes and Nobles" would be one.
They should hire me to write an ad campaign.
Well, just a few thoughts and questions this New Year's Day.
Oh, knowing that this life is a short, albeit irritating, test
helps me find the joy described on my Home Page.
I sure hope I am right.
If I have nothing else, I have faith.
Do you share any of these thoughts?
Drop me a line and let me know, K?
