t is a fact I greatly deplore: I spend more time lying down than upright !
It is a sign of advancing age of what should be done mostly at night.
However,the couch beckons and it is so soft and ever so inviting,
unfortunately the daily routine is definitely dull and not very exciting.
It is winter, the air is cold outside and my house is warm and pleasant
a perfect place to hug the pillow and think of a choice Christmas present.
There are books to read and puzzles to solve,or maybe just a snooze-
the beauty of it is -you rest your old body and surely have nothing to lose.
Horizontally you can consider what spots there may be on the ceiling-
or if you please,you might find writing a poem ever so appealing.
It is just amazing what funny thoughts come into your so idle mind :
going back yo your long life,many old memories you are likely to find.
While the shadows lengthen outside you think what food might appeal,
one of the most important decisions: what to have for the evening meal.
Regretfully you have to give up your prone position-but such is life :
you have to shift for yourself-there is just no cook or caring wife !
