Something About Being Okay

 

The problem with me


is not you. I have my


own issues to deal


with. Those are mine


alone, mine to own,


problems I can solve,


problems to fix or to


leave alone.



At my age I can either


accept the way things


are or change that which


I can. (I learned that in


the AA, 12-Step Plan


years ago.)



And now, given my


advanced age and


waning physical


acuities, I see and


accept my limited


capabilities.



And I have come to


realize that life and


mankind are not here


to please and satisfy


me.



Stupid and obnoxious


as you may be, if I can’t


either vote you out of


office or say my mind


and walk away, I shall


still be perfectly okay.



The hell with you anyway.


I’m not capable of much


these days of my old age,


but I’ve been around this


here Rodeo long enough


to know the foul stench


of bullshit when I smell it.
