Aging Politics
When I was young and flush with hope
And healthy, smug and purty,
I thought old pols were out of touch
And trusted none o'er thirty.
The years have past, the world has changed
With hopes I'm now more thrifty,
I'm fearful 'bout my safety net,
Trust no pol under sixty.
(And damn few older ones either)
