I Got Up Early
this Morning
Stepped Out of Bed
Quite Gingerly...
With a Yawn and A
Stretch I slowly Arose
I Feel Pretty
Wonderful It Seems.

Not Feeling to
Shabby or Rickety
Maybe I Can Garden
and Mow...
I Know I can Do
All This Stuff
If I Pace Myself
and Move Slow.

A Cup of Coffee
and Brush the Teeth
The One's Soaking
in the Glass...
Pull on The
Gardening Comfy Clothes
Broken In From
Many Years Past.

Now I wonder where
Are those Old Sneakers
That I Save for
Days Just Like this...
Deep In the corner Closet,
Another Season of
Gardening Bliss !

I Know My Worn Old
Gardening Gloves
Are In the Kitchen
Junk Drawer...
And the Watering
Can and Miracle Grow
Still In the
Cabinet Near the Floor.

But If I get Down
On the Floor
How will I get
back Up...
Maybe Crawl to the
Step Stool In the Corner
That Way I Will
Have Better Luck.

Now I Think I have
Gathered Everything
And Yup...Got In
My Teeth...
Now All I have to
do Is Dig through the Shed
For My
Rake...Where is That Thing?

Pull Out the Snow blowers
and the Shovels
Move the Ladders
and the Paint...
Better Climb Back
up those Deck Steps...
I Need some Water
Before I Faint.

Holy Smokes, The
Phone is Ringing
Hurry Up It Could
be and Emergency ...
Grab a Hammer, I
make a Mental Note
Fix the Nail
Sticking Up that Just tripped Me.

No This Is Not ,
The Corner Deli
What Number Did
You Dial...
How Dare that
Witch Slam the Phone In My Ear
I Think I Will Sit
for Just Awhile.

I better Check the
Weather
It's Getting Sort
of Cloudy and Cool...
Where Did I put
the Darn Remote
Lately I am Such
an Old Fool.

Oh Yeah My Old
Bones Knew It
They Say It's
Gonna Rain.
My Knees are
Creaking My Back is Bent
I Ache and I'm In
Pain.

I Blame it On The
Weather
These Old and
Brittle Bones...
Better Stay Inside
and Rest Awhile
Comparing ailments
On the Phone.

I Know I am Not
the Only One
My Gal Pals All
Have this Ailment Too !
Heating Pad,
Advil, Pillow and Blanket
Bad Backs are
Contagious Like the Flu.

Oh Yeah My Old
Bones Knew It
And I Blame it On
The Awful Rain.
My Knees are
Creaking My Back is Bent
I Ache and I'm In
Pain.

Tomorrow Is
Another Day
And then I Will Be
In Tip Top Shape...
If I Rest My Back
and Pamper Myself
Tomorrow I Can
Rake !

All of My Oldies

Backs...
