Before I forget to say it...Happy Birthday Alan and Lord Shrike!

Now regarding getting older...so you're gonna be 47 Alan... :ballons: :right: That's a nice young age Bet you still have all your teeth and don't wear glasses yet Or maybe even don't use a cane and arch supports . Of course the hearing goes about that age, the sex drive drops to the point that Viagra adds start getting your attention, you start getting a little heavy around the waiste when your muscles relax, and you start getting preoccupied with retiring. Well retiring ain't that all good Read on:

Retirement

I worked years for someone else
So that I could retire.
I dreamed of sleeping late
And sitting by the fire.

I dreamed of long vacations,
Enjoying stage and song.
But, let me set you straight on that concept,
It is simply wrong.

I did junk my safety glasses
And the work boots that cramped my toes.
But, the rest of it had a mind of it's own
And this is how it goes.

My wife had been thinking of retirement
And had plans of her own.
She had spent much time with the kids
But, now they are grown and gone.

We sold our cattle and horses
So we wouldn't have that chore.
I poured concrete over my alarm clock
But, I still wake up at four.

I get my eyes checked on Monday.
Ann gets hers checked the next day.
I go for a colon check on Wednesday
And pass my wife going the other way.

I have a dental appointment on Thursday.
Ann goes for a test on her heart.
Friday we go get prescriptions filled
And browse a while at Wal-mart.

Saturdays we just stay home
And try to get the paper work right.
We can't take any overnight trips
'Cause we can't see to drive at night.

Restroom confusion keeps us out of church on Sunday
And we really do hate that.
There's nothing wrong with the restrooms,
We just can't remember where they're at.

We don't need to plan next week,
Just make sure we can drive.
And not forget where the hospitals and clinics are.
We'll need them to survive.

So, don't build your castles too high, my friend,
While strolling through the clover.
This is a typical week in retirement
And on Monday we start all over!

Oh, you poor decrepid guy...
Hitting 45 in March...never thought I'd live THAT long....

Guess you all got the special invitation for my 90th BD coming up in 2027. Don't you young whippershappers burn out before that date.

Sniper is in charge of entertainment in the back room, *1's in charge of beer in the front and side room, and Joe's in charge of the outside fireworks celebration. I think he'll bring his AK's and give everyone a free shot on the house.

Now quit your bellyaching about how old you are. Get to living right now. Time's a'wastin! So get out there and fire those guns in your back yards tonight to show you've still alive.

Rrrrrrrrriiiiinnnng! Oh wait, I was just dreaming and my alarm went off. Time to do something if I could remember what it was.
