I’m older now. Here’s why, this is my day..I get up before the crack of dawn and fix a cup of hot POSTUM, in the darkness kick the cat getting water to the electric range, “Sorry, Kitty!” light a candle, being careful not to burn myself or start the house on fire; and re-view the mail from yesterday: Grocery specials from the supermarkets; notification of library books overdue+charges; utility bills WITH my senior discount; monthly solicitations from political parties and labour unions – like seiu – et cetera, etc.; list of all the latest problems being handled by the ACLU and a strongly worded request for my donation..they’re all b.s., bunch of malarkey, Oh! and the really important one, PUBLISHERS’ CLEARINGHOUSE, Yay! my lucky number is almost a certain winner and it’s being reserved for me, but I gotta respond NOW. Boy! this POSTUM tastes really great (I love retirement).

Ps: When my head started to clear up in the E.R. that last time, some guy with a steth-o-scope in his hand, looking at me through thick glasses aks me, “Who is the president?” I told him, “Oh! thanks for making me think of that! how about just inducing me into another coma??” I thought doctors are supposed to help people, –SHEESH!
