Most fix-its’re stumbled through,
others not so much.
I finally do make my peace risks
of electrocution
outweigh benefits mending drive-
way light switch.
But a bad ankle sprain addressed
early resolves
quicker than this septuagenarian
takes for granted.
Sunday morning, my wife brings
me Peets’ coffee, &
2 of us schmooze in comfy chairs,
listen to spring rain.
She turns on iPhone that fell in
her bath yesterday
then sound won’t work — though
now somehow does.
Perusing weekly news shows, we
cook chicken soup.
