This song really hits home for me. My own dad, in his last years before he died had shrunk his living space and existance down to 4-5 little pleasures in life like so many Seniors do. My Dad was a rabid Montreal Expos fan and used to watch them on a modest size TV, he would get angry if I suggested buying him a new bigger and better one. For his last 4-5 years, everything he already had in his life was all he would need going forward. He occupied his time , reading the newspaper, talking to my bros on the phone, watching or listening to the Expos games on the Radio and looking forward to seeing my young family on Sundays. Any time we ever tried to buy him something he insisted we bring it back cause it was a waste of money. As for Doctors
, yeah , they were preety much useless and it was a waste of time and taxpayers money for them to continually see him. The line about the ointments (not anoitments) is hilarious. When I was growing up, we always had a medicine cabinet full of old creams and rubs , probably going back several decades. He never through any of that stuff out cause it was a waste and you never know when you might need it again.
