I hyphenate my name just to be different but everything's the same and even when you say senior citizen or spit the words out like a cobra I knowya don't want the elderly to be thought of as anything other than old otherwise that would make the young people the old people in waiting

breaking,
you are
and you will age
and you'll get cranky,
deaf and shortsighted
should shortsighted be hyphenated?
*** knows and who cares.

Long live the King
although
he's friggin' ancient now and
it's time for him to go,
if he'd have been a Henry and there were more than enough of them then he could have lasted
but a Charles?

Charlies have had bad luck
but Long live him anyway
and long live old people.
