Dear Mystery Writer,

This was a fun song that I think all of us who are above the age of fifty can relate to. *smile* I think we have to laugh to keep from crying, right?? haha! Thanks and good luck in the voting!

Another good one. I love your sense of humor. And if somebody in country music doesn't pick up on this one and sing it, I'll be disappointed. Very well done in my uneducated opinion.

I think this has potential. . . I tried to sing along but parts of it just don't quite work for me. It's a good start. One place for sure that I kept saying when I sang along was the last line (which I really like) "and I just got finished off a-loadin' up my wife. I had fun trying to sing along.

    well, the way I "sing" it, the meter works just fine. I've gotten a bunch of sixes so apparently it works for some others. I'm sorry it didn't for you - truly - wish I knew how to write music and you tube it so you could see what I mean.
    Am going to see how your version of the last line "sounds.".

    I would really like to hear you sing it on youtube. If you get it figured out let me know. I do okay with music but there's a reason I don't write it. :) Maybe this will be your debut and the next time I hear it, you'll be in Vegas. :)

    laughing. That'll be the day. Maybe, If I'm lucky I'll find somebody who plays the guitar and writes songs.

    And they will give those lyrics the perfect tune they deserve. :)

Brilliant! Wonderful quirkiness, love the rhyming language, the rhythms and the dialect, all meshed together, can hear this on the ole guitar, I'd enjoy listening, do you have a tune to go with it?

How many movies has old Sam been in, from Roadhouse to Tombstone? Good luck in the contest. Learned about a new ailment lately, Gouty Arther Itis. Excellent post.

    Old Sam might not like my poem, but I thought his picture had just the right touch.
    Take care.

This is good, but I can't picture a melody that would go with it, but then, I never can come up with a melody, so take that for what it's worth. Good luck in the contest.

    thank you. I can't either. If I could, I''d one-finger it on my granddaughter's key board.

Too funny! This could be a winner! All us "old" folk can truly appreciate Arthur Itis' lament! You've captured in lyrical humor recollections of the past and reality of the present! Love it!
