A Silly Thing Happened in Lagos

In many ways, I have found getting old rather an adventure. There are the aches that act like homing pigeons sent to discover muscles and joints I never even knew I possessed. Then there is the constant battle between my mind and my body these days¾the one a towering Goliath willing to scale the highest peaks, the other a reluctant Eastern bride. Now in my sixties, I have pleasure in such incongruities as remaining silent on any subject and yet being considered wise and contemplative.
