I flipped the light switch to the walk in closet and it came on and poof was gone. Fretting and Fussing I said Now what do I do? I can't reach that bulb, I am to short by a foot or two!
I can't climb a ladder, I am not that bold,
I am really, really way to OLD.
I said to Bob, I can't stand on the top step of the ladder, I will fall over..
I dragged it out and and around Beau Rover.
The closet was dark, I could not see,
I grabbed the lantern, and laughed with glee.
The shelving was just right, I could hold on to that,
Which would steady me well and keep me from falling flat.
I descended safely, and flipped the switch,
and shouted you did it, you crazy old witch.
Today I changed a light bulb!!

Christmas Past and Santa's you may have missed
My Daddy goes by Santa Bob or Daddy and I met another Santa on the beach a few years ago
Can you see my daddy out in the water?

Yay, for finding the way! Much enjoying your visits to Christmas past... YAM xx
I love your poetry in the harrowing situation of changing a lightbulb that was too high and in the dark closet. Hurray! YOU DID IT!! So proud of you!! Amazing what seems like a simple task becomes a monumental challenge at our age! Things we used to be able to do with no problem are now like climing Mount Everest! But you did it!! Smart girl!!! And I LOVE the Santa Bob pictures and the others on the beach...so happy to have those fun memories. Happy to see your smiling face here today. We miss you when you aren't here. (((HUGS)))
