OLD FOLKS ARE WORTH A FORTUNE
Old folks are worth a fortune; With silver in their
hair, gold in their teeth, stones in their kidneys,
lead in their feet and gas in their stomachs. I
have become more social with the passing of the
years; some might even call me a frivolous old gal.
I'm seeing five gentlemen every day.
As soon as I wake, Will Power helps me get
out of bed. Then I go see John. Then Charley
Horse comes along, and when he is here he
takes a lot of my time and attention. When
he leaves, Arthur Ritis shows up and stays the
rest of the day. (He doesn't like to stay in one
place very long, so he takes me from joint to
joint.) After such a busy day, I'm really tired
and glad to go to bed with Ben Gay. What a life!
P.S. The preacher came to call the other day.
He said that at my age I should be thinking
about the hereafter. I told him I do - all the
time. No matter where I am - in the parlor,
upstairs in the kitchen or down in the basement
I ask myself, "Now, what am I here after?"
