Renewed Respect For Youth

Renewed Respect for Youth By Franklin Price 4/21/2015 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
