Smileys and Job smitten by the Lord Lard oah is enough Weve all beard of Year of Grot or The Yew of the Locate or some such wilt aw but from safe dis tance Bat bos spfexg to be interested In Hie Veer of Oh I know weve bad a lew minor alter cations in the pest when IV fairly humbly suggested that You stop dumping rain or snow on us for forty nod forty nights Bat I didnt thins Youd start a persona I though You were Above that sort of thing and learn It started in August My on Hugh a gregarious type who likes almost everybody admitted to his apartment late at night two young men visit He knew one of them slightly and asked them in for cuppa He drink Tfaeyhad a bottle After a while they said they were going to rip off his guitar He said Oh no youre not and suggested they leave One of the men hit him over the head with the guitar While be was unconscious or close enough one of the others hit him on both knees with a hammer The young lady of the group heated water and poured boiling water over bis face chest and back Tbey took bis stereo and anything else that would sell quickly on the streets and left some hours later be managed to lurch and stagger to an emer gency ward of a hospital in shock and great pain Hes back in pretty good shape six months later with sore knees and bum scars Why Who knows Tbey were probably looking for something they could sell quickly to buy drugs Or they were animals already high and looking for a little fun as well as profit Thats what life in the big cities of Canada is becoming A month later Lord I Tell down a stairs and broke my shoulder I m not saying You had anything to do with it I dare But one of your cherubim or seropoims might have been trying to curry Ive never fallen off anything but the wagon before In my life Five months later a couple of weeks the doctors said I cant open a Jar marmalade without severe pain and I can lift five pounds only with great care Two months later my wife in her prime strong and healthy fell dead in front of me My daughter went home to Ottawa with the kids and found her apartment ran sacked stereo and other valuables gone after her Christmas with me At least she said wryly they hadnt taken a hatchet to the And its pretty hard to heist a piano out of a basement apartment Another Canadian city Great place to live We might as well all move to Detroit However theres no personal resent ment Lord 1 know You have to test the faith once in a while or onceend a while as my English students prefer Look at what happened to Job At least You given me bolls Speaking of boils whats happened to my ability to sleep the dock around Its very nice being retired and not having to slam that alarm clock off at IS and get up in the dark But I cant sleep Not In a bed Only In a chair I go to bed at a reasonable hour 11 to and nothing happens I just lie there my mind whirling with all the things I havent done or should do I turn on the light and read Try again Nothing Read some more About daylight I go into a coma for four or five hours Maybe 1 d settle for a boil or two However I cant complain Its a fairly good life- being a retired widower once established a pattern Pie and and cheese for break fast at noon Soup and scrambled eggs for lunch about four pan Frozen chicken pie and banana for dinner about eight And the days have a certain soothing rhythm Monday Wednesday and Friday I go for physiotherapy to Brutal Brian It used to be called in the old days the In Idontscreamwbenhetakesmy shoulder out of the socket but I sure grunt Tuesdays and Thursdays are the bad days I have to set the alarm After an hours sleep on Tuesday I must put out the garbage On Thursday after an hours sleep I must welcome the lady who comes to clean up the mess Ive made and try to give her some coherent idea of what to do And every day still come warm and loving letters from old friends and column reoders to give me a little weep But Lord if you can find something else to do stop dum ping on the
