A patient man will eat ripe fruit. – African proverb The old man could be patient. Patience is what you need when too many witnesses are about. One is too many. Nobody saw nothing. Just more fake news. In my defense, I was left unsupervised.
Every night, between the hot tub and bedtime reading, the old man and the old dog enjoy together chocolate ice cream. Nutty. Both a furry grey. Long and lanky and not a little achy much always. The two take the pain slowly, like a white man’s burden. Dog is lucky, he can have painkillers. Neither…
I am, of course, played by the younger Burt Reynolds. Back when his toupee was dark. Our grins have always been sly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsC4kf6x_Q0 Blank space between the notes make the heart beat. I know you find me strange, but I think the problem may be on your end.
