Old Folks
Old folks
move to warmer climes
Like
Florida and Arizona
Where they
live the life
In old
folks homes
And
retirement communities
Playing
shuffleboard and golf
Having
cocktails every evening
Watching the
sun go down
Communal
meals and activities
Gathering
for televised events
Singalongs
and bingo games
Playing
pinochle and bridge
What could
go wrong?
Some say
rebellion is for the young
But stubbornness
is the way of age
Masks are
for Halloween
I didn’t
live my life to keep space
A little
shopping couldn’t hurt
A concert
or a play
A night of
fun at the cinema
Dinner and
dessert
At what
point do we let go?
Let the
old folks do what they will?
We can’t
cage the aged forever
We can’t
make the sun stand still
