Indulge Me, Please

 

Allow me to bring you up to date.


Yesterday, cold and cloudy was


less than great. 1947, the year of


my birth, was a very good year.


I don’t recall the particulars of


that event at all, but so I was


told by those who were there,


most of whom have since become


the Dearly Departed. The nearly


seventy-five years I have been here


have flown by, my sordid history


has summarily swept me off my feet.


Oh for me, there was a heaven on


Earth as well. In any case, I’ve


somehow managed to make it all


this was into the 21st Century.


Some of my contemporaries were


no so fortunate, many of whom


I can recall the years of their birth.


For the most part those were good


years as well even though we may


mostly agree, life can be a bitch


sometimes. And should you be


among the lucky ones, well now,


you’re all caught up, and here I


am to tell you.
