is that your
eyesight goes
which means you don't see all the things
deteriorating around you
you don't see the dirt and dust
the things that need fixing
the cobwebs
another good thing is
you don't hear too good either
which means you don't pick up on
all the ugly things being said on TV
and you can also use the excuse
I didn't hear you
to get out of work
or out of trouble
the next good thing about old age
is that your sense of smell goes
and you can't smell all the bad odors
that come out of people or pets
and you can just ignore the smell
and act like it wasn't you
the last good thing about old age
is your mind
which stubbornly hangs on
as it watches the rest of you go downhill
it's the last resort of what was your former self
if it wasn't for it
you would just be a bunch of bones
propped up in a corner
with your mind still functioning
they can't pull the plug unless
they sign a statement and
people are reluctant to do that
they don't want the blame or the liability
and that's the best good thing.
