This poem wasn't meant as a reference to Alphaville and their song "Forever Young". At least, it has the link to the video. But the poem itself is a little different.

I've just woken up from a 1 hour nap - it feels like I've been asleep for a week. That is - I feel awful.
Perhaps I need another hour (or two) 🤔

Mrs Mike is grumpy at me for no apparent reason.

[its not covid, I've been testing this whole time]

A quotation from Williams, Tennessee:

«««««
You can be young without money but you can’t be old without it. You’ve got to be old with money because to be old without it is just too awful, you’ve got to be one or the other, either young or with money, you can’t be old and without it.
