Old Enough
If the years have granted some wisdom,
Then thankfully, I'm old enough.
Old enough to recall colorful details,
When black & white TV's, weren't enough.
Old enough to remember a full head of hair,
When my main concern was dandruff.
Yet old enough to know the difference,
Between all the important stuff.
I've become old enough to think critically,
Hopefully avoiding any fisticuffs.
While being old enough to avoid the scandalous,
Since I'm not fond of any handcuff.
Through it all, I've tried to be tactful, & not so very tough.
So that whenever I'm asked my age or how old I am ...
I simply respond, I'm old enough.
