"A Blast From The Past"

-
ARE YOU LONESOME TONIGHT? (Senior Citizen Version)

Are you lonesome tonight?Does your tummy feel tight?
Did you bring your mylanta and tums?
Does your memory stray,To that bright sunny day,When you had all your teeth and your gums?
Is your hairline receding?
Your eyes growing dim?
Hysterectomy for her,And its prostate for him.
Does your back give you pain?
Do your knees predict rain?
Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight?
Is your blood pressure up?
Good cholesterol down?
Are you eating your low fat cuisine?
All that oat bran and fruit,Metamucil to boot.
Helps you run likeA well oiled machine.
If it's football or baseball,He sure knows the score.
Yes, he knows where it's atBut forgets what it's for.
So your gallbladder's gone,But your gout lingers on,Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight?
When you're hungry, he's not,When you're cold, he is hot,Then you start that old thermostat war.
When you turn out the light,He goes left and you go right,Then you get his great symphonic snore.
He was once so romantic,So witty and smart;
How did he turn out to be such
A cranky old fart?
So don't take any bets,
It's as good as it gets,
Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight?
Ladies and gentlemen, Elvis has left the building.

======A Farmer's Advice======
Your fences need to be
horse-high, pig-tight, and bull-strong.
Keep skunks, bankers, and
lawyers at a distance.
Life is simpler when you plow
around the stump.
A bumble bee is considerably
faster than a John Deere tractor.
Words that soak in your ears are
whispered - not yelled.
Forgive your enemies. It
messes up their heads.
When you wallow with pigs,
expect to get dirty.
The best sermons are lived, not
preached.
If you find yourself in a hole,
the first thing to do is stop digging.
Always drink upstream from the
herd.
