Crazy Old Vern

Crazy Old Vern

I was told I'm crazy.. sorry for saying that word,
So what, I'm very old of age...like it's anyone's concern,

"Mr. Vern"....Okay okay, I'll calm down for a sec,
I'll show respect, and get this over...continue, what's next,

Vern(Read)

I guess the question is.. what makes you happy,
I couldn't answer, just silence in the room that was lacking,

A bit of peace, my feelings were suddenly dragging,
Out like a car, my thoughts were mentally crashing,

And drafting, my body falling to the floor, against the table,
So quick, and fast on my feet...well..a  few helped, who were able,

Well since we're up Vern, let's do some physical activities,
Great..Who's rotating my legs, meanwhile someone is lifting me,

You try first Mr. Vern, right behind you we'll be,
And what if I fell forward, and break a hip, or knee,

Let's try to finish up at least, one of your task,
I did, there's COVID, and I'm wearing a mask,

Anyway are we done..but you still need to answer the question,
I guess we'll add more for you with tomorrow's lesson,

Yeah bye, these ones are really getting to me,
I knew answer to his question, but intentionally,

I fell back, and laughed, as I grabbed me a treat,
Looked at the photo of us, while sitting up in the seat,

I'm not out of my mind, or looney to be,
But alone with this reasoning, alone is the key,

You see, I didn't answer happily...I have no friends, or family to greet,
Except for therapist, that put up with... Crazy Old Me...
