Ken O Leary Poet Rhyme

Old Age

THE WINTER IS HERE,IT IS DULL AND COLD.
WE ALL THINK ABOUT OURSELVES,BUT WHAT ABOUT THE OLD.
SOME CANNOT AFFORD TO PUT ON THEIR HEATING.
NOW THATS NOT FUNNY WHEN IT IS COLD AND SLEIGHTING.
TRY TO SHOW PASSION AND SHOW YOU CARE.
AS ALL A PENSIONER WANTS, IS TO KNOW SOME-ONE IS THERE.
THE GOVERMENT COMES UP WITH ALL THESE PLANS.
BUT DONT WE REALLY ALL KNOW ITS JUST A SHAM.
WE GOT TO SHOW PASSION,AND WE MUST KEEP THE FAITH.
WE GOT TO CHANGE THINGS BEFORE IT GETS TO LATE
LET THE PENSIONS GET THEIR HEATING FOR FREE.
AS WHAT THESE COMPANIES LOSE FROM IT,THEY WILL GET BACK FROM YOU AND ME.
