Renewed Respect For Youth

Renewed Respect for Youth

Renewed respect for youth
Happened several days ago
From high school students in a play
Just wanted you and them to know

Enjoyed the play had lots of fun 
Was very glad I went
Renewed respect came after
To the cast party I was sent

Was sponsored by my daughter
Her daughter was a lead
Got lots of food together
This crowd of kids to feed

When they began arriving
They made the party fun
Respectful to this old man
Of them they made me one

Talked to me and shook my hand
And if I may be so bold
Felt I was a teen again
And not grandfather old

They were loud but were not raucous
Had fun did not destroy
I think without exception
Every single girl and boy

All gone by the stroke of twelve
Curfew or self was in control
Said thanks a lot for having us
Tomorrow again we play our roles

You see why my respect's renewed
Why I was so impressed
Their underpants not showing
Also liked how they were dressed
