Old Age Lament

“Old Age Lament” as read by Warren Adler

Old age is a good time to curse your maker

He turns out to be an awful faker

He wants respect and admiration

Constant praise is his vocation

If he was truly on our side

He should be able to point with pride

And show how smart he is and clever

By keeping us alive forever

-W.A.
