Senior Citizens

Senior citizens,

Some of them have surrendered,

To the inescapable fence,

Of time and wait to fly away like a bird.

 

But a few others seem evergreen,

Though minds long for a bright colour,    

They stop, thinking that it belongs mostly to the teen,

Yet none can stop them from choosing red underwear!    

 

Senior citizens have given much to the civilisation,

And expect nothing more than a little sympathy in return.

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "
