Not so much in this country, but the aged are respected an cared for in other cultures. I love this one. BG

Joyce, I sincerely wish youth would "provide for age." This is a terrific senryu and I hope young people will read it and realize they owe the older generations a great deal for their support and education. Best wishes in John's contest! Love, Carolyn (Your limerick is hysterically funny!)
