At Work I Am the Minority

People are always squeaking about being the minority.
I am the minority at my workplace.
There are only three people here over sixty.
Me and two others.

Ninety percent of the staff is between 12 and 27.
Nine and a half percent of the others are between 28 and 51.
I am definitely the minority – invisible most of the time.
Unless someone wants something.

Less is more. Less quantity and more quality, me thinks. You seem to handle it fine. Smiles, Bill
