Old Age And Out To Pasture Poem by louis rams

Old Age And Out To Pasture

Rating: 5.0


when is it that we are put out to pasture?
when our minds and bodies we can no longer master.

while in our teens everything is great
at 20 - everything seems to be fate
at 30 - we're in our prime
at 40- we become sublime
at 50- we go downhill
at 60- we lose our will
at 70- they say it's time
at 80- we've lost our mind
at 90- it's our time to go
at 100- your guess is as good as mine
but we're working overtime.

Very nice and funny too. I have to agree and at same time have to disagree too. Even at 20 or 60 we shouldn't lose our will.You made me to break into laugh with your ending line which apparently is true. High marks to the creativity you had shown in this piece.
