Decline


Organs betray me, honey bun,
Malfunctions big and small;
Last year they took my one,
and only place for storing gall.

I have a uro-doctor now,
(Admired by his peers)
And I have noticed -owww!
Hair, growing on the inside of my ears!

Ironically, on top my hair is thinner,
And, (to tell you this may be a little crass)
Every evening after eating dinner,
I soak my (upper) denture in a glass.

What's that my dear?
Oh love, the thing is worse than what I paint,

So I must disappoint you now I fear...
My joints are stiff tonight, but some thing ain't.
( 10-02 G.L.)

Embarrassed
Ain't it nice to be unable to eat
Simply 'cause you forgot where you left your teeth?
And ain't it a scream you can't read stuff
Simply cause your arms outstretched aren't long enough?

The first thing I experienced was loss of memory. Then, er, ah, what was I saying?

Very entertaining, jjorge Very Happy .
The writing, I mean. (Nothing amusing about losing the usage and/or the parts)
Great rhythym and words, I enjoy your work.

Ahem..... I have been here awhile, too. Embarrassed
