and rhyming, demonstrating that your spirit and facilities are intact. A very informationally dense haiku. Not to mention deeply reassuring.
One of my very favorite apocryphal stories is about Dr. Johnson (the picture next to "curmudgeon" in The Dictionary). Late in his life, he had a stroke. It happened at night while he was in bed. When he realized what had happened, he got out of bed and got down on his knees and thanked God for sparing him. And got back into bed. Naturally, he'd prayed in Latin. He realized he'd used pretty bad Latin, so he got out of bed again, and got down and thanked God for having spared his critical faculties.
