| AM FINE - THANK YOU

There's nothing the matter with me,
I'm as healthy as I can be,
I have arthritis in both my knees,
And when I talk, I talk with a wheeze,
My pulse is weak and my blood is thin,
But I'm awfully well for the shape I'm in.
Arch supports I have for my feet,
Or I wouldn't be able to be on the street,
Sleep is denied me night after night,
But every morning I find I'm alright
My mem'ry is failing, my head's in a spin,
But I'm awfully well for the shape I'm in,
The moral is this, as the tale I unfold,
That for me and you who are growing old,
Its better to say "I'm fine" with a grin
Then to let folks know the shape we're in.
How do I know my youth is all spent
Well, my “get up and go' has got up and
went,
‘But I really don't mind when I think with
a grin,
Of all the grand places my "get up" has
been,
Old age is golden, I've heard it said,
But sometimes I wonder as I get into bed,
With my ears in the drawer, my teeth in
a cup,
My eyes on the table until I wake up.
E're sleep comes o'er me, I say to myself,
is there anything else*I should lay on the
shelf?
When I was young, my slippers were red,
I could kick my heels right over my head,
When I grew older, my slippers were blue,
But still I could dance the whole night
through.
Now that I am old, my slippers are black
I walk to the store and puff myself back,
I get up each morning and dust off my wits
Pick up the paper and read the "Obits"...
If my name is still missing, I know I'm
not dead,
So I get a good breakfast and go back to
bed.

the S & J Transportation bus that travels

between Watson Lake and Cassiar daily was

returning to Cassiar with about 12 passen-

Later in the evening nine of the passeng-

ment” toasting S & Jwdriver, Ted Howe. One
Side of the bus dragging along the ground

.1And Wisdom
from Mark Twain ‘

A Little Nonsense .

"All that I care to know is that.a man is
a human being — that is enough for me; he
‘can't be any worse."

“Hurry up and come to visit me before we
get too old to hear each other swear."

"Ignorant people tthink its the noise which
fighting cats make that's so agravating,
but it ain't so; it's the sickening
grammar they use.”

"In our country we have three unspeakably
precious things: ffreedom of speech, free-
dom of conscience, and the prudence never
to practice either."
