Didn't Croak

     Didn't Do


Letter of missing the boat 

My boat was based on the list 

List of things I hadn't done 

I  did them all, I'm still here 


You were with me all the time 

They were saying we're "like twins 

Joined at the hip, used his list"

Now we must each make our own 


We didn't croak pity us 

Theres not much to look for now 

82 countries I've been 

Raised five children countless grands 


Getting to be time to croak 

Perhaps I will this summer

To you Happy Summerween 


I'm the older, love you more

Looks like a wonderful family, Jim! You will leave a wonderful legacy. But so glad you 'didn't croak.'

I'm glad you didn't miss out on anything you wanted to do. Life is to experience, I do believe. Is there some hurry to leave? Please don't croak until you actually want to.

"I'm the older, love you more"--joined at the hip or not, there's a sense of playful rivalry that may continue whichever side of the divide you are on, separate lists or not. But, wow! What a life! May it continue for a long time.
