I'm Dead

[DUD]

Don't Touch Me


I understand this completely. Bill




An older couple is lying in bed one morning, having just awakened from a good night's sleep. He takes her hand and she responds, "Don't touch me."

"Why not?" he asks.

She answers back, "Because I'm dead."

The husband says, "What are you talking about? We're both lying here in bed together and talking to one another."

She says, "No, I'm definitely dead."

He insists, "You're not dead. What in the world makes you think you're dead?" "Because I woke up this morning and nothing hurts."

The good thing about being older is that we can laugh at that kind of stuff.

The Pete Seeger version of this song is great:

Chorus: How do I know my youth is all spent--
My get-up-and-go has got up and went.
In spite of it all, I'm able to grin,
And think of the places my get-up has been...

Old age is golden, so I've heard it said,
But sometimes I wonder as I go to bed--
My ears are in a drawer, my teeth in a cup,
My eyes on a table until I wake up.

When I was young my slippers were red,
I could kick my heels right over my head.
When I grew older my slippers were blue,
But I could still dance the whole night thru...

Now that I am old my slippers are black,
I walk to the corner and puff my way back.
The reason I know my youth is spent--
My get-up-and-go got up and went.

I get up each morning, dust off my wits,
Pick up the paper and read the obits--
If my name is missing, I know I'm not dead,
So I eat a good breakfast and go back to bed!
