Advantageous
It is sometimes advantageous
To be getting on in years,
For it qualifies you to be
Vaccinated, it appears.
The flip side, though, is obvious –
The experts all have said
That the older folk with Covid
Will more often end up dead.
The conclusion, then – in some respects
It’s better to be young.
Though you can’t get the vaccine,
The fearful you won’t be among.
