old men who are no longer
mentally or physically fit
take on roles that have an
arduous sort of identikit

on reaching a senior's age
they shouldn't be world leaders  
who require handlers and the
omnipresent teleprompter readers  

a president or prime minister
needs youthful robustness
so that they can well manage
government stress  

more fresh faces must be
elected in
not the tired and weary
elderly kin
  
most persons will retire before
three score years and ten
so they can live out the rest of their days
as unburdened men
