Old is as old does

You are too old…

When
the jokes
fall flat,
courtesy your
receding wit.

When
you don’t
bitch about
the past,
but say
“you’ve
learned
from it”.

When the
last time
you did
something
wild was
in 1306.

When your
sentences end
in truisms
and you
quote Moses.

When you
think
puting up
an act is too
much trouble.

When you
fight for
nobel
causes:
the couch,
the remote
on the double!

When the only
figure you are
concerned
about are
the ones
that adorn
your taxes.

When
“the been
there, done
that’s”
feature far
too many
times in your
eloquent
waxes.
