Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for May 02, 2023

It’s the booze old lady.

I resemble that remark.

Overdrawn.

Don’t catch cold in the overdraft.

“You look like a million dollars – all green and crumpled.”

Bankrupt.

I understand. Some days the body and mind cooperate and don’t give me a lot of trouble when I arise. Today isn’t one of them, but I’m up and waiting for the coffee to kick in…

Hey Aunty, slap yourself in the face a few times and pop in those dentures waiting on the nightstand! Just hope you re-freshed the cleaning solution prior to soaking them last night!

That’s what happens when you have a counterfeit morals and pocket change mentality.

So do I, sometimes, and it’s not the booze.

I wake up in the morning feeling like I’ve been trampled by a million bucks.

I wake up feeling like I owe a million bucks.

I resemble that remark.
