FAULTS
Deadly allergy to cat hair and dander
Don't cook alone
Diplomatically challenged
Avoiding mirrors that I once adored
Physically healthy, but not so committed to over-staying in this world.

Oh. And I write, from time to time.

Here's a parody on a well known poem by Robert Frost:

Reaching for my Comb on a Frosty Morning

"Whose arms these are I think I know,
Attached to Nana's shoulders, though.

When did this crepe-y skin appear
Between my wrist and my elbow?

I also think it rather queer
To miss the gist of what I hear.

And though I'm clearly wide awake
My eyes now see an endless smear.

My speaking voice begins to quake.
My skin looks like it's gonna flake.

Decrepitude! It makes me weep!
Now, what comes next?
Full Body Ache?

Now, must this aging, quiet creep?
Yet, also come by bound and leap?

Enough! I'm going back to sleep!
Enough! I'm going back to sleep!"

Still there?
Let's play!
