My visual acuity br is not as good as it might be br My hearing too is failing fast br not half as good as in the past. br I fear I’m on the downward slope br but still I’m cheerful and I hope. br They’ll last me for a few years yet br although sometimes I forget br exactly just how old I am. br I do not give a tinkers damn. br I’m still alive I don’t complain. br Each day I wake up is a gain br another opportunity br To misbehave outrageously..br br ivor or ivor.
