"Dies ist mein Geburtstagsgeschenk" ~ Sunday, June 28, 2020

"Don't trust anyone over 30" ~ Jack Weinberg 

~~~

Today is my birthday, 
only I am too old, 
despite its importance, 
as I am a touch gray, 
yet, everyday is gold 

if you know how to dance, 
some pretend to ignore 

milestones, too bored to care, 
yet, they are too busy, 

bored with the world, they bore,  
in turn, everyone near, 
remind them, life is dear, 
tell them it is precious, 
how they prefer steak rare, 
determined to pity 
anyone suspicious, 
yet, I am just that old.
