Old As You Feel.

know a lot of sprightly men
whose toll of years is weighty,
for all have passed three score
and ten, and some are nearly
eighty. They pass my cottage
every day, on divers errands
spinning, and some are bald and
all are gray-old gents who've
had their inning. They've set
tied down beside the sea, where
life is calm and easy. and here
they'll dwell until they flee this
vale so vain and cheesey. But
they don't sit upon the sands
and shrink and sigh and shiver,
and wait, and wait, with folded
hands. the call to cross the river.
They're up and coming all the
time to give Old Age a trim
ming, and up the mountainsides
they climb, and in the sea go
swimming. In olden times the
patriarchs sat waiting dissolu-
tion. and they were prone to
grim remarks concerning retri-
button. When they'd achieved
three score and nine. they felt
their graft was ended, and each
one then took in his sign. and to
the shadows wended. But now
the old boy won't say die, or
grant that he's a fogy; he'll
ride an airplane to the sky, and
fool with Colonel Bogie; he'll
send his motor up the pike un-
til the speed cops nail him; this
young old man | greatly like,
and with much ardor hail him.
