All in Context
The sledding hill was crowded
And I thought, as I walked by,
How expressions can mean different things,
Which age can magnify.
For when someone says of sledders,
“They are going downhill fast,”
That same statement, for a senior,
Does a darker shadow cast.
And the same applies to “tubing,”
Which my grandkids just enjoyed –
Quite a contrast to the post-op tubes
Which have got my spouse annoyed.
