Beatitudes Of The Aged and Stuff

Truer Words Have Never Been Spoken!

The Meaning of Life in 13 Words:

“Inside Every Old Person Is A Younger Person Asking, What The Fuck Happened?”

Then there is ME:


And then there is the Beatitudes for people like me:

BEATITUDES FOR THE OLD

BLESSED THEY WHO KNOW MY WALK'S UNSTEADY
AND MY HANDS SHAKE
BLESSED THEY WHO SPEAK A LITTLE LOUDER
BLESSED THEY WHO KNOW THE WORLD IS MISTY
IN MY SIGHT AND IN MY MIND
BLESSED THEY WHO DO NOT GRUMBLE WHEN I SPILL THE SALT
BLESSED THEY WHO SMILE AT ME AND STOP TO TALK
AND LISTEN TO MY STORIES THREE TIMES TOLD
BLESSED ARE THE LISTENERS TO THE TALES OF MY YOUTH
WHO LOVE ME AND TREAT ME WITH RESPECT
BLESSED THEY WHO GIVE ME WARMTH AS COLD CREEPS IN
BLESSED THEY WHO MAKE GOD SEEM MORE FRIENDLY
AND WHEN ETERNITY WRAPS ITSELF ABOUT ME
I SHALL REMEMBER THEM TO GOD

    You crack me up. Love it! Just for the record, you're still young at heart and look 25.

    L.S., are you hinting for a spanking, too?

    Everyone feels young in the dark.

    I have lots of frisky old friends. All frisky is in the head.
