If I Didn't Have My Own Words, This Is What I'd Say...

On Reaching Forty

Other acquainted years
sidle
with modest
decorum
across the scrim of toughened
tears and to a stage
planked with laughter boards
and waxed with rueful loss
But forty
with the authorized
brazenness of a uniformed
cop stomp
no-knocking
into the script
bumps a funky grind on the
shabby curtain of youth
and delays the action

Unless you have the inborn
wisdom
and grace
and are clever enough
to die at
thirty-nine.

Maya Angelou

If lethargy persists and you are fighting to stay awake, you can drink caffeinated coffee or take caffeine supplements, if your doctor okays them.  Other stimulants you can ask your doctor about include dextroamphetamine and methylphenidate.

This was uncalled for.

When I think about myself,
I almost laugh myself to death,
My life has been one great big joke,
A dance that's walked
A song that's spoke,
I laugh so hard I almost choke
When I think about myself.


                          
From "When I Think About Myself"

Get these mutts away from me
You know I don't find this stuff amusing any more.

-Paul Simon "You Can Call Me Al"
He said I have no opinion about this
And I have no opinion about that
Sad as a lonely little wrikled balloon
He said well I don't claim to be happy about this boys
And I don't seem to be happy about that

Today start to eat a piece of furniture.
You will need:  a piece of wooden furniture (wardrobe, bookshelf, table, chair), a nail file.
Shave off a small amount of wood from your piece of furniture.  Sprinkle it on your lunch. Enjoy!  Persevere every day and you should be able to eat the entire piece of furniture within 20 years.
