His hat says I Remember Pearl Harbor He asks me to put the wine in the basket Hanging behind his motorized wheelchair He smells a little like *** His sweatpants have dark stains all over Like a leapord who has gone old and grey "They can put a motor on one of these things but they can't make them comfortable" "When you're an old man like me maybe yours will fly but I bet your *** will still fall asleep all the time" I tell him that when I am old I hope they make wheelchairs that feel like a father's shoulders He shakes his head after I say that and laughs "That sounds like it might be nice But i couldn't say I know what that feels like" Me neither I tell him

Conversaions With Older People: The Veteran in the Wheelchair
His hat says I Remember Pearl Harbor He asks me to put the wine in the basket Hanging behind his motorized wheelchair He smells a little like *** His sweatpants have dark stains all over Like a leapord who has gone old and grey "They can put a motor on one of these things but they can't make them comfortable" "When you're an old man like me maybe yours will fly but I bet your *** will still fall asleep all the time" I tell him that when I am old I hope they make wheelchairs that feel like a father's shoulders He shakes his head after I say that and laughs "That sounds like it might be nice But i couldn't say I know what that feels like" Me neither I tell him
