Well...aren't we all? <br /> <br />After all... <br />Those discs can't last forever! <br />Ok... <br />So maybe I had hoped <br />That they would last me for a lifetime <br />But now I see.. <br />That's not the case <br />And what will be... <br />Will be! <br /> <br />Apparently... <br />My shock absorbers... <br />Are shot <br />All <br />To Hell! <br /> <br />Those squishy little gel filled sacks <br />Are losing liquid... <br />Squish...squish...squish... <br />OUCH! ! ! <br /> <br />Ok... <br />So here's the plan... <br />I DO...and DO...and DO some more... <br />Until I can't! ! <br /> <br />I sit up straight... <br />I eat my veggies... <br />I exercise regularly... <br />I go to bed when I'm supposed to... <br />I play nicely with the other kids... <br />And if I'm lucky... <br />My back will last me... <br />Until I die! <br /> <br />Ok... <br />And the down-side of that would be? ? ? <br />Screw the down side! ! <br />I'm an optimist...not a fricken pessimist! <br /> <br />Meanwhile... <br />If I can't reach the door knob any more... <br />Could someone please... <br />Bring me a stool to stand on! <br /> <br />Dee Daffodil (HW) 5 September,2008<br /><br />Dee Daffodil<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/madam-we-regret-to-inform-you-you-re-shrinking/
