Has been a fast ride…

School, marriage , BA degree

3 kids, 2 businesses MS degree

6 grandsons and 12 years

Of retirement with the same

Man by my side…

He’s great

But

So am I…

Honestly, I feel like those

Years passed by in a blink

Of an eye…

Now retired I read and watch

Y&R and B&B…

Seeing my General Hospital

And All My Children Stars passing

Away…

When Did Magnum PI

Become Commish Regan

With that dyed hair and

wrinkles..

Went to our 50th HS Reunion

In 2015/2016… now we are

Reading the obits leading

Up to our 60th wondering who

We might see and praying

McGonigals won’t show up

With a picture of me…

Speaking of the picture, will

There be a yearbook picture

Or heaven forbid the white haired

76+ wrinkled old lady that no

One will recognize…

I better get out my glamour shot

And put it in my last travel bag

with…

My coffin dress, press on nails,

Jones Road make up, eyebrows

And the obituary so I go “my way“

Yes, I’m from the cusp of the

Sinatra years…

Must tuck in my Charlie

And Barney and my cell phone

And my last request for an

Electric connection attached

In the big box..:

So I can get in my last call

In case the coroner and

Undertaker are sitting

At the Brass Rail for last call

As Their hearing aides don’t

Work with their old stethoscopes

When they “think” I took my

Last breath…

And since my brother is gone

we won’t be playing Pop

Goes the Weasal waiting for

Everyone’s surprise as

He promised…
