My visual acuity <br /> is not as good as it might be <br />My hearing too is failing fast <br /> not half as good as in the past. <br />I fear I’m on the downward slope <br /> but still I’m cheerful and I hope. <br />They’ll last me for a few years yet <br /> although sometimes I forget <br />exactly just how old I am. <br />I do not give a tinkers damn. <br />I’m still alive I don’t complain. <br /> Each day I wake up is a gain <br /> another opportunity <br />To misbehave outrageously..<br /><br />ivor or ivor.e hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/shameless-3/
