Late Night Drivel

I had my 65th birthday on Monday. Here are some things that were clarified for me by friends. I hope it is a sign from God that I can still learn! False, "erectile dysfunction" isn't a labor dispute at the new high rise they are building downtown. False, a "persistent vegetative state" doesn't send representatives to the U.S. Congress and the Senate, it does however describe the U.S. Congress. False, Dr. Neil Clark Warren doesn't have the answer to everyone's dating dilemma. He had a wonderful transvestite, necrophiliac, faith-healer lined up for me, but I got cold feet...................Imagine. True, the only media entity getting lower ratings than me and my poetry on PoetrySoup, is MSNBC. False, Chevy Chase isn't one of the tracks they visit on NASCAR's Sprint Cup Series. False, we don't subscribe to the theory that premarital sex will make you go blind. At my age, it is called "Pre- Interment-Sex" and I wear bifocals already, anyway. True, I was really feeling a little low about turning 65 and all, but then I saw Hillary Rodham Clinton on the tube. Now, I feel like the King of the World! True, there will never be a clear winner in the battle of the sexes. True, if you woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning, you still "woke up." Be happy! True, I will never write any of this opinionated drivel on PoetrySoup again for fear I get banned. If you believe that................ Happy April Fools Day Soupers, don't take ya-self too serious

The allure of your words was like being offered a cold lemon aid from the local stand set up by the neighbor kids, refreshing with the sweet after taste of an April fools pun. Emile.
