What are seniors worth anyway?
We are worth a fortune!
Remember, old folks are worth a fortune, with
silver in their hair, gold in their teeth, stones in
their kidneys, lead in their feet, and gas in their
stomachs. We have become a little older since I
saw you last, and a few changes have come into
my life since then. Frankly, I have become a
frivolous old gal.
I am seeing five gentlemen every day. As soon as I
wake up,
Will Power helps me get out of bed, then I go to
see John, then Charlie Horse comes along, and
when he is here he takes a lot of my time and
attention. When he leaves, Arthur Ritis shows up
and stays the rest of the day. He doesn't like to
stay in one place very long, so he takes me from
joint to joint. After such a busy day I'm really tired
and glad to go to bed with Ben Gay. What a life! Oh
yes, I'm also flirting with Al Zymer.
P.S. The preacher came to call the other day, he
said at my age I should be thinking about the
hereafter. I told him "Oh I do all the time." No
matter where I am, in the parlour, upstairs, in the
kitchen or down in the basement, I now ask
myself....."What am I here after?"
