Older Equals Better?
a poem
OLDER EQUALS BETTER?
Older equals
better
why does young mean you’re all
THAT?
Hey look at
Willie Nelson, Cher
Tony Bennett, Sting —(They are all cool suave old cats!)
Maybe older equals
wiser
Maybe younger equals
strife
How do we know what’s better
a young or
older life?
Maybe older equals
calmer,
things don’t stress you out
You’ve learned now to accept
instead of bitch and pout
Maybe older equals smarter?
(Hey, you’ve been though all your crap)
and now
you can appreciate
the talents you can tap!
