Age and Bitterness

Too many men, when they
grow old, are prone to sit
around and scold, and view
things with alarm; they spend
the long hours heaving sighs,
and everything that meets their
eyes is void of worth and charm.
l too am old and oft l feel so
tough I'd like to raise a spiel of
sorrow and dismay; distressed
by rheumatic and gout, I'd like
to tell the world about a golden
yesterday. But when | take my
Tyre in hand, to celebrate a past
long canned, l feel that l. am
wrong; the world is still a fine
resort the fact that makes me
kick and snort is that I've lived
so long. The world is right side
up with care, and old men
shouldn't tear. their hair, and
say it's slipping cogs; it still
rolls on around the sun, and
girls and boys who have their
fun aren't going to the dogs.
We all admire the fine old guy
who views the people going by,
and views them with a grin,
who joins the laughter of the
young, and doesn't sprain a
withered lung to prove that
mirth's a sin. But if an ancient
gent is sore and sits beside his
cottage door to prove all things
are wrong, he finds he has a
lonesome job, for no one cares
to hear sob when he can hear
a song. WALT MASON.
