Excellent
Not yet exceptional. When the exceptional rating is reached this is highlighted
Was eminent years ago. Wife makes all his little decisions.

Day Three After Wife Went Visiting

by Ogden



Okay...I'll go. No...think I'll stay.
Let me check the sky. Yeah, it's gray.
And I am old. I have a cold.
Uh, better put that plan on hold.

It might rain. Sky looked mis'rable.
Gray skies mean at least drizzlable.
I suspect I'm temporizing.
Just to avoid exercising?

What was it I wanted to do?
Buy that new tube of Super Glue?
There's a little left, anyway.
Maybe I'll just stay home today.
