Miss Tickle

80 is the number

it is a big 'un

we are thinking about the big number big time

Pearlina and the Lumpkin are getting smaller, not bigger, but we are still getting older

how about that

we are a survivor one more time *

in 80 years we have done a lot of stuff / lotsa stuff

much of the stuff is done over and over again in great bursts of repetition

we have carpal tunnel syndrome of the brain pan

think think think

so we recall :

when in the mind all is think

pull the plug and drain the sink

therefore

dont ask why if reason you seek

for the brain is awry

and springing a leak

~~~~

stay tuned

if there is more to come

we expect "it" to be different

p.s. the Coalition of Cancer Survivors says anyone with cancer is a survivor whether he/she has yet to survive

the Coalition's audio CD on cancer was the first Skaterina listened to when she was given her cancer diagnosis / extremely helpful
