Look at the youth
Ever so uncouth
Yelling all the while

Look at the geezers
Asthmatic wheezers
Placing down restrictions

Our time is soon
Soon ends our noon
Teach the children our ways

Leave us be
So we may see
To find our own devices

I'd much rather
That you'd gather
And follow in our steps

Leave us alone
To find life's path on our own
Let us tend our own sails

We were never that dumb
We are not numb
In age and wisdom we improve

We will never be that dry
And yet with Time's sigh
The new are old
And repeat so bold
The words they sought to defy
