To All Great Senior Citizens

They were brought up right so polite
and you can count on them day and night
and their standards and morals exceed the limit
and this world would mean nothing without them in it
and their most wonderful trait and it is worth a million is their unwavering kindness to children
and so senior citizens
so honest and true
It is such a pleasure knowing you
I thank you for all your wonderful ways and
for you I have nothing but praise

To Readers of Today

Picked up a book of poetry 
the other day 
Read some of the verse in it 
Quite good I thought
   Seems the poems in it were 
written by SEVENTH GRADERS!
Some to the poems 
 were better than 
I see form older, experienced writers!
Talent is talent!
Genius doesn't come along 
   everyday
Yet it does come along!
Read the work of today's youth 
  Alongside that of senior citizens
(damn, I almost am one)
Enlighten yourself 
   Pick up a new book of verse!

I Voted Against Phil Bredesen Part 2

If a ninety year old Tennessean buys some cigarettes, he has to show 
identification.
He has to prove that he's not under eighteen and that's stupid intimidation.
Bredesen must think that people will mistake senior citizens to be people who 
are under eighteen.
The law he passed makes all tobacco users show identification and it's the 
stupidest law I've ever seen.
I voted against Phil Bredesen because I'm appalled.
It's a damn shame that he can't be recalled.

We have thought, in our hearts and minds, that our senior citizens are,
Meant for riding kids each day for each hour in their little toy car;
We feel that we feed them to ride our kids farthest or very far,
To reach them back like sky stars with no physical or psychic scar;
Father or mother... uncle or aunty... who can in this art par,
Are candidates selected to go to heaven with no age bar....!

Premium Member Facets of a Virus

This virus is many things:
an invisible asp playing hide-and-seek
a genie riding the wind with great ease
a magician emptying streets of loco sapiens.
Replacing them with wild-wild things.
A comedian turning senior citizens
into bandits, gangsters and thieves.  
A political scythe slicing opposition necks.
This virus is the billow of the hearth of hell
coaxing verse from seeds of death
without precedence or prejudice.
Treating everybody equally.
Like a mini- Martin Luther King.
