Mental Age Poem by Akhtar Jawad
Mental Age
Playing and playing and playing with toys
The old man thinks he is just like the boys.
I heard the toys what they comment for me
Their mental age I wonder to see.
"This old man is a lovely toy."
"At this age he is still a boy."
The smallest doll said, "He is usually nice.
But when I ask for a gift he reads its price.
I doubt he will take another ten years,
To get rid of his old age fears,
And to be changed in a perfect play boy,
But by that time we shall not be a toy."
Age is just a number. If we think that we are young, we remain young! Even when one is aged, the child in us comes to the fore many a time! A pleasant read!
Wow, what a wonderful poem with great humor. I think the underlying thought of this great write is that..There is always a child inside all of us. Beautifully crafted write.10
