AGE HAS ITS PRIVILEGE – By Ray Gallucci
When you are old and prone to mold,
It matters not if you they’ll scold
For skipping meetings by not heeding
Platitudes they keep repeating.
It’s right you’ve earned to choose to spurn
What management claims you should learn.
Once you have heard it all before,
Their tired words are just a bore.
So budge you not from comfort spot
To hear again such polyglot.
It’s privilege yours to not endure
The drivel to which you’re inured.
