Proof Reading.

Howdy Folks ~~ Here we are again. I have been shopping

and so far haven’t thought of a thing I forgot to get.

<><><><> Geriatric version of Are You Lonesome Tonight….

(with Apologies to Elvis !!!

Are you lonesome tonight, does your tummy feel tight

Did you bring your Mylanta and Tums?

Does your memory stray, to that bright sunny day…

When you had all your teeth and your gums?

Is you hairline receding? Are your eyes growing dim?

Hysterectomy for her; and it’s prostate for him

Does your back give you pain.. do your knees predict rain?

Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight….

<><><><><><><>

Is your blood pressure up, your good cholesterol down?

Are you eating your low fat cuisine?

All that oat bran and fruit, Metamucil to boot, keeps you

like a well oiled machine…

Yes, he knows where it’s at…but forgets what it’s for.

Tell me dear, are you lovesome tonight?

<><><><><><><><>

When you’re hungry, he’s not. When you’re cold then he’s hot

Then you start that old thermostat war.

When you turn down the light, he goes left you go right.

Then you get his great symphonic snore.

He was once so romantic, and witty and smart,

How’d he turn out to be such a cranky old fart?

So don’t take any bets, this is as good as it gets.

Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight?

<><><><><> SENILITY PRAYER. <><><><><>

Grant me the Senility to Forget the People I Never

Liked, The Good Fortune to Run into the People

I do like, and the Eyesight to tell the Difference.

<><><><><><> Couple of Sayings. <><><><>

Live as long as you can and die when you can’t help it.

Remember it’s always darkest just before it goes

totally black.

Today, give a stranger one of your smiles. It might be

the only sunshine he sees all day.
