No Admission For a Wrinkly Face

Five winters ago, Madison Square was cramped with wild teens
as they waited for the music to begin and blast their ears;
I also wanted to share their excitement 
and sing with them while the high-heel songstress
appeared in bikini welcoming their cheers... 
she gave a legendary performance drawing them like a magnet...
the delirious crowd liked the performance of " Bad Romance ".
I looked at her and felt I was rolling back the years!
Some guy stared and me and told his girlfriend with fake eyelashes, 
" Who's this old guy, is he here for the concert? " 
Then they chanted, " No admmission for a wrinkly face! "
" Bet, you can't be dance like us and keep up the pace! "
That insulting remark didn't bother me a bit... 
they laughed, but they stopped when I showed them my fist!

OH MY, what a tale!! This is really sad that young kids would say such a thing like that. You should have showed them your dance moves instead. I bet you still have' em. Thanks for visiting my poem today and sorry to hear about your dad.
