...Of Old Folks Who Know Better

"Let us not to the marriage...."
We have a perfectly good shack-up
going on...you screw-up -- get out!
"Admit impediments" ... ?
Okay, so you leave the lid up,
and the cap off the ketchup in the fridge.
"Love doesn't vary" just because
I wanna yell at ya for it !!!!!!!!
I'm thoughtful, I don't do it
with your hearing aids in...did I?
"Love doesn't vary" just because
you've got wrinkles, lose your hair ...
and NEVER ask directions when driving!
This gives me something real
to actually bitch about...mark my words.
"Oh no, it is an ever fixéd mark
That looks on tempests
and is never shaken"...
(ahem) yeah, well, tsunami and typhoon
are gonna have me screaming a bit.
IF I don't scream at the time,
you have me checked for OldTimers,
or Alzheimer's, or don't give a spit disorder...
and gum in my hair, thousand yard stare.
"Love alters not
with its brief hours and weeks"...jeez
Sounds like nursing home time to me.
Dance with me on the plank, sailor!
LIVE dangerously until we're at least 93!
