"Old Man", by Harry Malachowsky
Copyright © 1991, Age 80 +

While driving on the parkway doing about 40 miles an hour, a driver pulls along side my car and shouting at the top of her voice, "Old man, can't you go a little faster?!".
Came home one day and find that my grass has been replaced with building bricks, and my lawn mower is missing.

Recently while watching my wife being examined by her doctor, he turns around and asks me, "Harry, who is your doctor?". I tell him that I have no doctor and in a stern voice tells me, "At your age you must have a doctor".

For more than 50 years I have maintained my children's homes, doing the electrical, plumbing, carpentry...now they won't even let me change a faucet washer. When I ask why they tell me I am an old man.

While shopping at the department store I couldn't find what I was looking for. I see the store manager and ask her if she would help me find the sneakers advertised in today's paper. She looks at the brown spots on my face, smiles, and beckons, "It would be a pleasure".
