The Next 50 Years

I’m halfway through this life of zen,
Assuming I live to 110.

My plan is 100, I’ve never had doubt,
Before the final curtain, the ultimate chill out.

Except for some stress which you all can relate,
Might shave off two years, still a respectable 98.

That’s a BFD, what is waiting for me,
Apart from the obvious bottle of chilled Chablis.

Ever the optimist I sit back and wonder,
Just how many years until we end youth hunger.

When health is the new wealth, happiness makes you rich,
No more mean girls who gossip and bitch.

The end of greedy douche bags too big to fail,
An assembly of world leaders, the majority female.

The beauty trend is wrinkles and paper thin skin,
The Middle East declares peace, muslim relaxers for the win.

People worldwide have prayed for an answer,
We’re universally blessed with a cure for cancer.

The future looks rosy through wine goggles, a full cup,
2017 has jumped the shark… there’s nowhere to go but up.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY VAL!

THE LIABILITIES OF BEING A LEFTYFor thousands of years, left-handers were branded with a scarlet letter L. Deemed weak, luciferian, and mercilessly persecuted, while the almighty right-handers ruled the roost. By the 1960’s, corporal punishment was flogging its way out of public schools, no longer forcing lefties to write right.Hey you! Get out of the gene pool! In our family of nine, only three of us are in our right mind. Considering 90% of the population are righties, it’s clear the spunky swimmers of our forefathers were trying to drown us out. The genetic lottery is a random luck of the fucking draw.Trials and Tribulations:🖐️ I’m sure I’d be a scratch golfer had that driver been placed in my dominant hand.🖐️ The absolute privilege of paying more for sporting equipment and musical instruments.🖐️ Can openers can suck my dick!🖐️ Nothing spruces up the cuff of a white blouse like dragging it though fresh ballpoint ink.🖐️ You’ll never understand the skillset of cutting a straight line with upside down scissors.🖐️ A hefty dry cleaning bill from rubbing elbows at the dinner table with fellow red wine drinkers.🖐️ After all these years, I still fight the urge to extend my southpaw for a handshake.🖐️ I’d give my right hand to be ambidextrous.🖐️ My kingdom for a left-sided car console and cup holder.🖐️ Katy Perry’s choreography challenged left shark wasn’t doin’ it right.My fellow lefties, feel free to lament!JOIN THE SISTERHOOD, Like, Follow, Share! 🍷sangriasisters.ca/the-liabilities-of-being-a-lefty/ ...
