If My Body Were a Car

If my body were a car, this is the time I would
be thinking about trading it in for a newer model.

I've got bumps and dents and scratches in my finish and my paint job is getting a little dull---

but that's not the worst of it.

My headlights are out of focus and it's especially hard to see things up close.

My traction is not as graceful as it once was.

I slip and slide and skid and bump into things even in the best of weather.

My whitewalls are stained with varicose veins.

It takes me hours to reach my maximum speed.

My fuel rate burns inefficiently.


But here’s the worst of it----
Almost every time I sneeze, cough or sputter---

Either my radiator leaks or my exhaust backfires!

I can Bearly read

Is it just me, or does anyone else have difficulties with pages on the web that have dark backgrounds with a lighter colour print?

When I find a blog that is formatted that way, the content better be pretty darn interesting, because I will not return to read any new content on those blogs.

Sorry, if this applies to any of you out there in the Blogging world.

I imagine that the reason for that type of format is that it is supposed to be "artistic." All I am saying, is that my aging eyes have a difficult time reading "artistic."
