Grandfather Paradox
young man, strong man
fool bereft of patience
hot head, father’s dread
calm yourself and study
middle man, worried man
steady on through trial
lean now, pull now
for children yet a while
old man, gray man
weap no tears of sorrow
passion now, rage now
pillaged youth through guile
