I can’t ever remember if I last took mail out or brought mail in.

Two days later a box is at my door. The trouble is, I can’t ever remember what I ordered two days prior. So, every time I open a new box, it’s a big surprise.<br />
<br />
Maybe I should request all of my orders be gift wrapped, so that when I open a box, I’ll think it is Christmas again. Because the rate at which I am aging, soon I won’t even know what day it is.Ranger Davehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09046631199585897066noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1429568779405536305.post-7774300264833642702018-01-18T10:38:00.002-05:002018-01-18T10:38:42.812-05:00Seniors New Years Eve Partywent to a seniors new years party<br />

ordered a Ferrari on unlimited budget<br />
of course she ordered it Ferrari red<br />
and performance tires with no tread<br />
<br />
waited three months for it to be built<br />
her patience was about to wilt<br />
she couldn’t wait for it to arrive<br />
ready for that high speed drive<br />
<br />
flew over to see her new toy<br />
rolled it out and she lost her joy<br />
she ordered red but this was yellow<br />
to get red you must be a fellow<br />
<br />
Ferrari won’t sell red to a female<br />
she traveled to Germany on high speed rail<br />
bought a red nine eleven<br />
now she’s in sports car heavenRanger Davehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09046631199585897066noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1429568779405536305.post-58789873115866061282018-01-18T10:16:00.001-05:002018-01-18T10:17:00.331-05:00"Looking For Our Newspaper"during the middle of Grayson nor’easter<br />
