OLD FARTS
Old Farts
Silently shopping in K-Marts
Often, they suffer from bad hearts
So please don't throw darts
at the old farts
Old Farts
Quietly eating their pop-tarts
Racing around in their go-carts
that got off to slow starts,
just like the old farts
Old Farts
Won't be too long, and they'll depart
Cholesterol readings are off the chart
So please don't get smart
with the old farts
Old Farts
We're defunct old Garfunkels, just like Art
We're existential, like Jean Paul Sartre
So please don't even get me started
about the old farts
Old Farts
Their Old Glory still waves o'er the ramparts
But they've no battery cables for a jump-start
Can't find replacement parts
for the old farts
=====================
** Poet's Postscript
The above is meant to be sung, not read.
If you don't know what song that I mean , then
you are not enough of an old fart to appreciate
the poem, so get lost.
This is not meant to offend senile citizens,
er, I mean senior citizens. After all, we shall all
be thusly, sooner than we expected.
