Sloping in one’s declining years straight ahead to fear - Straight on sloping: He is alone - and his wife is in an institution For traumatology. If the gentle sloping - is tightning: To steepness we should he accustomed. And we have a situation as others Analogously. And the friend however has a birthday - It should be celebrated! How to save humour Vaguely? And I don’t see any other means - Swim with the course... And to get drunk straight away To have my mind clouded!
