March 1st, 2005 — Growing Older
Three deaf old friends were walking
One said, “It’s windy, isn’t it?”
Another said, “No it’s Thursday,
Although it’s easy to forget.”
The third said, “Well, I’m thirsty too.
And if we weren’t all so flat broke
We could walk down to the drugstore
And buy us each a great big coke.”
