How Old Is Old

Since time began, there has been a generation gap And all their opinions will never change, because of their age Seems like today's time, the gap has become more extreme Now they wear their caps backwards, don't use it as a thinking cap No more respect, this brings older people to sudden rage It is a nightmare, not the American dream When asked how old I am, I just smile and say "Man, I am like Old Testament old"" "You know the Ten Commandments and The Golden Rule"" "In school the taught the 3R's and it was all right to pray" In response some will say, "Wow Old Dude that is cold" "You really are from The Old School" Not knowing who George Washington was or what he did "Isn't he the old gray haired dude on the one dollar bill" Not knowing if he chopped down the cherry tree or the money tree" It sure was not like this when I was a kid What in the Hell has happened to this country But then to a point God does us free will The fault lies on both sides in need of repair of the gap that will continue to grow Like back to basics and thinking with common sense And knowing who really wears the crown That is the only way all of us will ever know For all of us, it is our only defense Not when asked what is 2 plus 2, " Back off Pops, the computer is down"
