Ah, the Taxman cometh......
and yet again, Aprile is the cruelest month....or so sez durn near ever’ wit that cracks a joke about April 15...
But, truth be told (‘n that’s the best thing t’do with it cuz lying is just plain dumb, ‘specially when y’get caught.. just ask Tiger Woods) April ain’t a bad month a’tall....I mean, it’s Spring, the season of damp earth, new growth, new green, buds on trees, ‘n all that....young mens fancies, etcetera....lots ‘n lots of young ladies walking around with pregnant bellies ‘n (mostly) smiles, old farts out strolling looking a little less dour than usual....seems like almost every corner has a bunch of kids washing cars for good causes...
Time flies whether y’have fun or not....the definition of fun changes as y’get older...I’m talking dramatic changes here altho’ when you’re young, you really have no understanding at all of what’s to come...maybe that’s why so many oldtimers look at young people ‘n smile....when we look at children, those are nostalgic smiles ‘n they’re very likely genuine smiles of caring....But, maybe not...remember that proverbial other hand 'cause there’s almost always something on the flip side....’course, nowadays no one talks about the ‘flip side’ anymore....that’s ‘cause there ain’t no flip side on CD’s or tape (remember tape?)...back in those ‘golden days of yore’ there were records...’n they recorded both sides....well, nemmine, it ain’t important anyway....but the ‘dark’ side is always there just the same...when we’re smiling at what we term ‘young adults’.....you don’t necessarily want to bet the farm but we might not be laughing with you..maybe, just maybe, we might be laughing at the train wreck that we see coming full-bore down the pike....”Regrets, I’ve had a few, etc. etc.......”
Anyways....I started this at the beginning of the week ‘n now here t’is Thursday ‘n I ain’t even sure how it got from there to here so quickly....’n that’s what I meant when I said, “Time flies....”
Still, It’s a beautiful, quiet, sunny Thursday morning ‘n I’ve been out weeding (just a little bit) wearing shorts ‘n sandals ‘n a tee-shirt...not quite summertime yet but headed thataway..... Millyrose sez I got t'get back in the pool 'cause I'm losing my tan....
"First, y'say y'do, but then y'don't,
then y'say y'will, but then y'won't.
You're undecided now so
what're y'gonna do?...."
