Days Of Our Lives

This is how it started Saturday

For daughter Joy and me

We were going to Elmcroft of Chesterfield

To keep our seniors company.

Oh what fun we’d have with them

Gonna make it a special day

We had a plan all worked out

Gonna do this our way.

Here’s Omar waiting to go with us

He loves the seniors too

Didn’t want to

But we had to say no

Just too many things to do.

That was okay, he understood

He’d seen us pack the truck

So off he went to K-9 town

A good deal we had struck.

We left too, daughter Joy and I

Off to read my “Omar Blue”

While Joy projected the pages

They’d see the pictures too.

While setting up our “production”

You’ll never guess what we found

Our projector bulb had blown out

And there were no more around.

Oh why did we buy from Craig’s List!

As if neither of us knew

For several hundred dollars

Our projector could have been new.

WE BOTH LAUGHED OUT LOUD

But that was the end of our special treat

What else could we do

We used our displays more effectively

And our bookmarks helped out too.

Then we held our book and shirt giveaway

And oh was I surprised

At the bigger pictures

On the winner’s shirt

She saw it in my eyes.

I said, don’t you think we need to trade

She said, what’s wrong with you

If you touch my shirt just one more time

I'm gonna get mad at you.

I guessed that meant she loved it

See the pretty smile on her face

Those smiles mean more than anything

So glad we found that place.

Now Joy and I are moving on

To Heritage Oaks next week

And as for that projector of ours

Hope it’s only a bulb we seek.
