COMPANY


Three old men sat on the roadside bench

Their noses oblivious of the nasty stench

Foul smelling wayside drain

With friends the oldies feel no pain

 

Sipping tea from aluminium tumblers

Nibbling at soft biscuits

The trio don't have much to look forward to

They all are at the end of life's persuits

 

No teeth, hair grey and sparse

Joints aching wth age and rheumatism

Walking sticks keep them upright

They are indeed examples of optimism

 

Just returned from their daybreak walk

They know they are not wanted at home

Savouring the company of the mellow morn

To the young these oldies are soap without foam
