Three Ages of Man

I’m older than you The children cry, Ignore their age as Middle years roll by, Proclaim it with A certain pride As they near the end Of life’s long ride

You wouldn't believe the smile on my face ! You succumbed ! That cat will be in your utility room before you know it !!!! Terrific poem .. its so true, we don't mention it for years and then suddenly it becomes a badge of honor.

There is a state of truce between me and the cat - it stays outside and i feed it.
