I’m going to go way out on a limb today.
That as a figure of speech is easy for me
to say. I haven’t climbed a tree since I
was a kid many years ago.
Now, I am 74-years old and need a
walker just to make it across the room.
Besides, even if I were able, I wouldn’t
physically go way out on a limb for I am
afraid of heights.
Glued securely to the firmly grounded
trunk of the tree, holding on for dear
life is more likely commensurate with
my speed.
Call the damned fire department, I’m
frozen with fright and can’t let go. In the
first place climbing a tree at all would be
an impossibility for me, literally
speaking that is.
