Decrepit and Mangy Old Folks

I live in an adult lifestyle community So what exactly does that mean? It means most residents are old farts like me Though there's some under sixty it seems Don't know why they've chosen this place With us decrepit and mangy old folks Must be because their marriage seems safe No competition from us “over the hill” blokes The “put out to pasture” phrase comes to mind Our usefulness no longer is obvious Except for baking cookies for the craft show The reports of our value are quite dubious Here's a fact that us old guys will attest to Seen it all, done it all, there's no doubt We've got a whole lifetime of experience to offer One problem may be our bouts with the gout I live in an adult lifestyle community So what exactly does that mean? Means residents can't cut the mustard anymore Just chillin' before us guys leave the scene © Jack Ellison 2012
