I love JJ’s limericks. It’s been a while since the last, I think.
I wrote one for my husband once. Not too sure he appreciated it though, as he was in bed with a bad back that day. It went like this:
There is an old man name of Jimwho’s chances today are quite slim
His back’s out of whackCan’t get out of the sack
The rat race today he won’t win.
Yes, we’re still married, must be love. :>)

Since I’ve become hard of hearing, I no longer hear the high-pitched sounds of my watch alarm or other electronics. And I don’t miss them a bit.

You want total quiet, take a ride in the space station. Of course, it’s in the dark half the time!

I’ve found one doesn’t WANT total quiet. Sleeping on my left side, all’s well until the shoulder gets numb and rolling over to the right side gives me the thump-sqoosh of my heart in my right ear, and one can only take so much of THAT, so at 79, I can still hear a mouse pee in my sock drawer(I wish I could ketch the lil’ bastid) and crank up the TVon whatever boring ‘paid advertising’ channel I can find andget some real sleep. Some damfool said that getting oldain’t for sissies.. He probly never took an aspirin in his life!

" the power will fail and we can relax again." So, you think using an outhouse and hauling drinking water in a bucket is relaxing? You are easily pleased. :-)
