Geezer Poets Poem by Rev. Dr. A. Jacob Hassler

I thought this rather immature, even for a poet that has not as yet reached geezer territory (and never may) . I thought we had a bit of a consensus to try to 'get along', to pull back the fangs somewhat, basing at least the immediate future upon mutual respect? This, Jake, is not a good example. Shows the advantage that geezers enjoy: Life experience and maturity. Motto after 50.....NMB (no more bullshit) . What are YOU doing? H

Lest you think so, I did not rate your poem numerically. Couldn't allow myself to stoop that low. H

awww, jake, why ya got to be so mean? la sigh... hey, you ever read this piece? To A Poet, Who Would Have Me Praise Certain Bad Poets, Imitators Of His And Mine YOU say, as I have often given tongue In praise of what another's said or sung, 'Twere politic to do the like by these; But was there ever dog that praised his fleas? William Butler Yeats

Not a bad poem, but I hope one day, you and I become geezer poets, I think I hope that, I don't hope the part about putting other poets' work down.

yes, yes LOL until I realize I AM a geezer poet to any 30 year old.

Love it. The wonderful irony of this is in it's impeccable rhyme which is a rather conservative way to put a poem together. A lot of geezers would approve the form while grumbling about the content.

love it all, the last two lines says it all! Robin

Shooting from the hip. A neat and fun piece. Enjoyed! ! ! ! ! ! !
