Cranky Old Man

A Poem

When an old man died in the geriatric ward of a nursing home in an Australian country town, it was believed that he had nothing left of any value. Later, when the nurses were going through his meager possessions, They found this poem. Its quality and content so impressed the staff that copies were made and distributed to every nurse in the hospital. 

One nurse took her copy to Melbourne. The old man's sole bequest to posterity has since appeared in the Christmas editions of magazines around the country and appearing in mags for Mental Health. A slide presentation has also been made based on his simple, but eloquent, poem. And this old man, with nothing left to give to the world, is now the author of this 'anonymous' poem winging across the Internet. 

Cranky Old Man 

What do you see nurses? . . . What do you see? 
What are you thinking . . . when you're looking at me? 

A cranky old man . . . not very wise, 
Uncertain of habit . . . with faraway eyes? 

Who dribbles his food . . . and makes no reply. 
When you say in a loud voice . . . 'I do wish you'd try!' 

Who seems not to notice . . . the things that you do. 
And forever is losing . . . A sock or shoe? 

Who, resisting or not . . . lets you do as you will, 
With bathing and feeding . . . The long day to fill? 

Is that what you're thinking?. . Is that what you see? 
Then open your eyes, nurse . . . you're not looking at me. 

I'll tell you who I am . . . As I sit here so still, 
As I do at your bidding . . . as I eat at your will. 

I'm a small child of Ten . . . with a father and mother, 
Brothers and sisters . . . who love one another 

A young boy of Sixteen . . . with wings on his feet, 
Dreaming that soon now . . . a lover he'll meet. 

A groom soon at Twenty . . . my heart gives a leap. 
Remembering, the vows . . . that I promised to keep. 

At Twenty-Five, now . . . I have young of my own. 
Who need me to guide . . . And a secure happy home. 

A man of Thirty . . . My young now grown fast, 
Bound to each other . . . With ties that should last. 

At Forty, my young sons . . . have grown and are gone, 
But my woman is beside me . . . to see I don't mourn. 

At Fifty, once more . . . Babies play 'round my knee, 
Again, we know children . . . My loved one and me. 

Dark days are upon me . . . My wife is now dead. 
I look at the future . . . I shudder with dread. 

For my young are all rearing . . . young of their own. 
And I think of the years . . . And the love that I've known. 

I'm now an old man . . . and nature is cruel. 
It's jest to make old age . . . look like a fool. 

The body, it crumbles . . . grace and vigor, depart. 
There is now a stone . . . where I once had a heart. 

But inside this old carcass . . . A young man still dwells, 
And now and again . . . my battered heart swells 

I remember the joys . . . I remember the pain. 
And I'm loving and living . . . life over again. 

I think of the years, all too few . . . gone too fast. 
And accept the stark fact . . . that nothing can last. 

So open your eyes, people . . . . . . . . . open and see.
Not a cranky old man. Look closer . . . . see . . . ME!! 

Remember this poem when you next meet an older person who you might brush aside without looking at the young soul within. We will all, one day, be there, too!

Bull

A DEA Agent

... stopped at a ranch in Texas and talked to an old rancher. He told the rancher, "I need to inspect your ranch for illegally grown drugs." The rancher said, "okay, but don't go into that field over there...", as he pointed out the location.

The DEA Agent verbally exploded and said, "look mister, I have the authority of the federal government with me!" Reaching into his rear back pocket, the arrogant officer removed his badge and proudly displayed it to the rancher. "See this badge?! This badge means I can go wherever I want... On any land! No questions asked, no answers given! Do you understand old man?!"

The rancher kindly nodded, apologized, and went about his chores. Moments later the rancher heard loud screams, he looked up and saw the DEA agent running for his life, being chased by the ranchers big Santa Gertrudis Bull …

With every step the bull was gaining ground on the officer, and it was likely that he'd sure enough get gored before he reached safety. The officer was clearly terrified.

The old rancher threw down his tools, ran as fast as he could to the fence, and yelled at the top of his lungs …

"YOUR BADGE! YOUR BADGE! SHOW HIM YOUR BADGE!"

Holiday Greetings

 My Democrat Friends: 

Please accept with no obligation, implied or explicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, Non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all. 

I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2014, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great. 

Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country, nor the only America in the Western Hemisphere.

This wish is made without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the sender.

To My Republican Friends:

Merry Christmas and a 
Happy New Year!

In God We Trust, God Bless America!

Humor - Insights into ObamaCare

AMA Insight

No matter which side you are on.

The American Medical Association has weighed in on Obama's new health care package.

The Allergists were in favor of scratching it, but the Dermatologists advised not to make any rash moves.

The Gastroenterologists had sort of a gut feeling about it, but the Neurologists thought the Administration had a lot of nerve.

Meanwhile, Obstetricians felt certain everyone was laboring under a misconception, while the Ophthalmologists considered the idea shortsighted.

Pathologists yelled, "Over my dead body!" while the Pediatricians said, "Oh, grow up!"

The Psychiatrists thought the whole idea was madness, while the Radiologists could see
right through it.

Surgeons decided to wash their hands of the whole thing and the Internists claimed it would indeed be a bitter pill to swallow.

The Plastic Surgeons opined that this proposal would "put a whole new face on the matter."

The Podiatrists thought it was a step forward, but the Urologists were pissed off at the whole idea.

Anesthesiologists thought the whole idea was a gas, and those lofty Cardiologists didn't have the heart to say no.

In the end, the Proctologists won out, leaving the entire decision up to the ass holes in Washington.

Ruling Class GOP and Democrats are on the same side against Conservative Tea Party candidates. Entrenched Republicans and RINOs are gearing up financially to defeat Conservatives in the next election cycle. Dems are also also running as 3rd Party Libertarians along with the No Name Party to siphon off GOP votes. Democrats could not be more proud of their GOP brethren-in-money and spirit as they help Democrats get elected. Go-along-to-get-along Ruling Class GOP want Conservatives to lose more than they want to defeat Democrats. Call it survival of the entrenched. 11/11/13

Humor: Divorce

An old man calls his son and says, "Listen, your mother and I are getting divorced. Forty-five years of misery is enough."

"Dad, what are you talking about?" the son screams.

“We can't stand the sight of each other any longer,” he says. "I'm sick of her face, and I'm sick of talking about this, so call your sister and tell her," and he hangs up.

Now, the son is worried. He calls his sister. She says, "Like hell they’re getting divorced!"

She calls their father immediately. "You’re not getting divorced! Don't do another thing. The two of us are flying home tomorrow to talk about this. Until then, don't call a lawyer, don't file a paper. DO YOU HEAR ME?” She hangs up the phone.

The old man turns to his wife and says, "Okay, they’re both coming for Christmas and paying their own airfares.

Humor: Fred

An Arizona Highway Patrol officer stops a Harley for traveling faster than the posted speed limit.

He starts the stop by asking the biker his name. 'Fred,' he replies. 'Fred what?' the officer asks. 'Just Fred,' the man responds.

The officer, in a good mood, thinks he might just give the biker a break, and write him out a warning instead of a ticket. The officer presses him for the last name. The man tells him that he used to have a last name but lost it.

The officer thinks that he has a nut case on his hands but plays along with it. 'Tell me, Fred, how did you lose your last name?'

The biker replies, 'It's a long story, so stay with me. I was born Fred Johnson. I studied hard and got good grades. When I got older, I realized that I wanted to be a doctor. I went through college, medical school, internship, residency, and finally got my degree, so I was Fred Johnson, MD.

After a while I got bored being a doctor, so I decided to go back to school. Dentistry was my dream! Got all the way through School, got my degree, so then I was Fred Johnson, MD, DDS.

Got bored doing dentistry, so I started fooling around with my assistant and she gave me VD, so now I was Fred Johnson, MD, DDS, with VD.

Well, the ADA found out about the VD, so they took away my DDS. Then I was Fred Johnson, MD, with VD. Then the AMA found out about the ADA taking away my DDS because of the VD, so they took away my MD leaving me as Fred Johnson with VD.

Then the VD took away my Johnson, so now I am Just Fred.'

The officer walked away in tears, laughing.

Unfair. Dems call GOP immigration proposal unfair. In essence, Democrats regard it as unfair to give preference to talented and educated people who can come into the county and earn a living while keeping more uneducated dependents out. This has absolutely nothing to do with fairness, a key Democrat slush-all term. This is pure politics. The uneducated with limited skills will rely on the over-burdened Big Dem Gov welfare system if they are going to survive in the USA or any other nation – and vote Democrat.

Last December, Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) introduced The Comprehensive Immigration Reform for America's Security and Prosperity Act (H.R. 4321), the third time in 4 years that Congress has attempted to address immigration reform.

Unfortunately, this bill contains many of the same terrible proposals that were defeated in the past 2 bills! The American public has more than once spoken against massive amnesties in record numbers. Yet , our lawmakers continue to force this policy on the American public!

Illegal immigration amnesty alive and well

Every President, every politician, and every human being tells lies and engages in acts of hypocrisy. But Barack Obama does these things to a far greater degree than anyone else that I have ever known of. His campaign promises were so much better sounding than anyone else’s – no lobbyists in his administration, waiting five days before signing all non-emergency bills so people would have time to read them, putting health care negotiations on C-SPAN, reading every bill line by line to make sure money isn’t being wasted, prosecution of Wall St. criminals, ending raids against medical marijuana in states where it’s legal, high levels of transparency. Obama’s promises of these wonderful things sounded inspiring and sincere. They sounded so much better than the promises of any other President. So when Obama broke these promises, it felt so much worse than when other Presidents broke their promises. [danfromsquirrelhill] 10/6/13

Humor - The Israeli Quarterback

The Israeli Quarterback  

The coach had put together the perfect team for the Detroit Lions. The only thing that was missing was a good quarterback. 

He had scouted all the colleges and even the Canadian and European Leagues, but he couldn't find a ringer who could ensure a Super Bowl win. Then one night while watching CNN he saw a war-zone scene in the West Bank. In one corner of the background, he spotted a young Israeli soldier with a truly incredible arm.

He threw a hand-grenade straight into a 15th story window 100 yards away. KABOOM!

He threw another hand-grenade 75 yards away, right into a chimney. KA-BLOOEY!

Then he threw another at a passing car going 90 mph. BULLS-EYE!

"I've got to get this guy!" Coach said to himself. "He has the perfect arm!" So, he brings him to the States and teaches him the great game of football. And the Lions go on to win the Super Bowl.

The young man is hailed as the great hero of football, and when the coach asks him what he wants, all the young man wants is to call his Mother.

"Mom," he says into the phone, "I just won the Super Bowl!"
