ADMITEDLY OLD

ADMITEDLY OLD!!

I know this was your childhood room--and now you say you know
that, when you moved the cats in here, you encouraged them to grow
inordinately curious at the sight of your trapdoor
that you invented to escape each night because you were bored,
to purchase a new book; most kids "trips" were of a diff'rent kind
but the only ones that you took were the ones that used your mind!!
And, now we're finally mature and wise; some would call it "grown,"
youre frugal and inist on useing my old, broken, cell phone!!
I killed it back in Memphis--tried to flush it right down the pot;
you then ordered brand new parts for it, no matter how I fought
to buy a NEW phone from THIS decade, it really made good sense
to have contemporary equipment --we'd not look SO dense
when we pulled out our old phones at that convention in the cold!,
(We should just quit kidding ourselves and admit we've gotten OLD!!)
