                                                     “You Did It!”

                                    As Colonel Pickering might say

On occasion my wristwatch reads, “You did it!”
At first I appreciated the congratulations
Though I wasn’t sure of the diddly-did I did
Until I sinked or synched the watch to something else

Whereupon I learned that my watch was praising me
For somehow managing to stand on my feet  -
High praise for a drunk or an invalid (may I say so?)
But since so little praise comes to me, I accept it

I imagine standing before the King of Sweden
Who awards me the Nobel for standing at all
