ARE THE BIGGEST CARRIERS OF AIDS Hearing aids Bandaids Rolaids Walking aids Medic aids Government aids. Just a line to say I'm living that I'm not among the dead. Though I'm getting more forgetful and mixed up in the head. I got used to my arthritis to my dentures I'm resigned. I can manage my bifocals but boy! I miss my mind! For sometimes I can't remember when at the stairs I stare if I must go up for something or, have I just come down from there? And before the fridge so often my poor mind is filled with doubt: Have I just put food away or have I come to take some out? And there are times when it is dark --with my nightcap on my head-- I don't know if I'm retiring or I just got out of bed. So, if it's my time to write you there's no need for getting sore. I may think that I have written and don't want to be a bore. So, remember that I love you and wish that you were near. But now it's nearly mail time so I must say "Goodbye," dear. Here I stand at the mailbox with a face so fiery red. Instead of mailing you this letter I opened it instead! (Unknown) I have a good memory. It's just short. A SHORT MEMORY You get to meet a lot of new friends! You know you have entered the metallic age when The gold in your hair turns to silver The white in your teeth turns to gold And the iron in your blood turns to lead in your bottom. I never will forget ol' what's-his-name. My friend Sally said that she has some new boy friends that stick closer than a brother: Arthur Ritis and Ben Gay. <><From my ebook, They All Laughed At Me When I Said That I Was Going to Write A Joke Book.
