SUBJECT: “Old Folks and Old Brains”
“OLD FOLKS”
Remember that “OLD FOLKS” are worth a fortune, with silver in their hair – gold in their teeth – stones in their kidneys – and gas in their stomachs!
I have become a little older since – I last saw you – and a few changes have come into my “LIFE” – since then. Frankly, I have become a “Frivolous” – old gal!
I am seeing five (5) “gentlemen” – every day! As soon as – I WAKE UP – “Mr. Will Power” helps me get out of bed! And then – “Mr. Charlie Horse” comes along and when he is here – he takes a whole lot of my time and attention! Oh, and when he leaves – “Mr. Arthur Ritis” will show up – and has the nerve to stay the rest of the day! He also does not like to stay in only one place very long – so he will take me – from “joint to joint!”
Now, – and after such a very busy day – I am really tired and “OH” – “so glad” – to go to bed with “Mr. Ben Gay!” – And – oh me – my o ooh – what -a “Life” – that I live?
P.S. The “Preacher” came to call on me the other day. He said – that at my “AGE” – that I should be thinking about the “HERE – AFTER?” I told him – “OH! I do” – “and all the time. No matter where I am – in the parlor – upstairs – in the kitchen or even down in the “basement” – I ask myself – NOW – what am I – here after?”
