Agnes by Tony Cochran for October 16, 2017

Let’s all give Grandma a hand.

I swear I can hear mine laugh at me.

I can’t do sit-ups any more. Spine sounds. Clunk, clunk. I bought one of those ‘hang by your elbows-now -pick up your legs’ and finally am getting my belly in order. I know, I’ll never be young again. But I’m going to be an old man in shape again’. I like me better that way.

Do we know anything about Agnes’ Mother or Father?

Yes it started for me in my 40’s with a click clack here and a pop-pop there.

“Bopp” when it stopped,

“Brrr” when it stood still.’

Not quite what Tom Paxton was describing, but his lyrics seem to fit.
