"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.
