In Tens

AT TENS At ten listened to all Saw them all And did none at all At twenty I didn’t listen at all I saw one but not all I cared the list about all At thirty I pinched my ears Listened to one And worried if he cared at all At forty I blocked my ears Everybody spoke I wondered if I cared at all At fifty I was fifty All was fifty, fifty I was fifty after all And now all I know And care about someone’s been guessing my age
