15,702. I NEED MORE OF EVERYTHING

I NEED MORE OF EVERYTHING

Many times one cannot just STOP! The

streetcar structure just keeps rolling on.

I need more of everything: pillows, jelly,

milk and eggs. Books and honey, shovels

and a hammer or two. Air for my tires, if

you find a way. Sleighbells and jingles too.

-

Bread for the breadbox and money for

the bank; paper to write on and people to

thank? Aunts and Uncles? Yes, they're all

gone. I need more of them too I guess, but

let's move on. Movies? Not really; but blankets

and firewood, gasoline and glasses, palm frites 

and long johns too. Most any of the cold-weather 

stuff needed to get me through.

It's a tougher world than one imagines when

you get really old. Disliking the sun, and

avoiding the cold?
