An Advantage of Old Age

An Advantage of Old Age By Elton Camp When you’re in the prime of life Working to support child and wife Others’ opinions are a valid concern So, your faults don’t let them learn Because you’ve got years to work You mustn’t be known as a jerk When you become fiscally secure Caring what others think it’ll cure It becomes an enormous relief When people can’t cause grief Your view you can freely express And nobody else can suppress If anyone says, “How do you dare!” The response is, “What do I care!” And even angrily you can shout it There’s naught they can do about it
