AM I LUCKY?
I read the obits
So many my age
Even younger
But not yet me
That’s lucky.
Sulfa drugs
By-pass surgery
Radioactive seeding
Medicare
That’s lucky
Nursing home
Assisted living
Not yet for me
That’s lucky
First generation born
Free to pursue
The American Dream
That was really lucky
I’ve had the good life
Most ups, few downs
Unconditional love
Yes, I’m lucky
About Me
- irwinpgarfinkle
- I am a handsome (see my 1945 photo) debonair, loveable retired intellectual property attorney (and sometime liar). I enjoy writing poetry and memoirs. I am a born again atheist, but a zealous Jew. It's amazing that we Jews constiture only 2/10th of 1 percent of the word population, but have contributed so much to the world's sciences and moralities. Many of my poems are about the Jews, my people. I also write about politics; my favorite politician to bash was George W. Bush. I'll miss him. Heaven portend that I'll have to bash Sarah Palin.
