Dylan's 80th Birthday
In case you weren’t feeling old
(A topic kind of weighty)
You might, as soon as you’ve been told
Today, Bob Dylan’s 80!
Our youthful idols cannot age
Unless we do in tandem
And lately, if they take the stage,
They face a senior fandom.
I’m glad that Bob’s still kicking,
Earning accolades and cred
Unlike those whose songs are sticking
Though they’re 50-plus years dead.
