Did you hear he met a woman

Younger than 45

That woman in the hotel is 1/4 of his age

And those black glasses dont fool me

Did you know he still has that old car
And those old tyres
And he has RX put on them
To show he isn't passed it

Did you know his temper
He has to live upstairs
To protect those in the house

Did you know he never looks after himself
He runs away all the time
Packs his car when it's dark
Comes back when it's dark
Never speaks to me

Did you know

I enjoyed this intriguing story, dear Bodger. Maybe he doesn't care for himself, but for the car surely, as it has to take him out in the dark ...
Love,

~sigh~ I can read this in several ways, Dave. The portrait matches someone I've known suffering the onset of dementia. It also has its parallel to 'a dirty ol man' I had to live around many, many years ago.
An interesting write m'friend.
