Verbosity - Diarrhea of the Brain?
Wordiness - Rambling On and On and On -
Dangling Participles and Run-on Sentences -
Perhaps Akin to that of a Wrecked Train?

LOL, or perhaps not. I once asked a lady what it felt like to be 102. She said she felt about the same as when she was 40 or so. I feel about 35 until I get up to walk around the room and my legs tell be they are 56 and then some. lol Had to wear my leg brace yesterday. $1300.00 it cost. Ugly but a nice splashy cobalt blue. Goes well with my Nikes and flowered cane. I might be old by some standards but at least I'm colorful. Hugs, J'nia
I can't imagine your ramblings when you reach 89 ! ! ! cos...have we another twenty years? or they come to clean this planet to the bones and we have nothing to ramble about?
Jeeze, Tom, you're a kid. I was seventy-five in August and so long as I'm able to purchase Viagra -- and have a reason to purchase Viagra --and have good friends like you to cover my back, politically, life isn't so bad.
