RESPECT

It is nice to be older

Because most everyone

Treats you with respect

People assume you are

An intellect and seldom

Challenge you on any

Topic. They appreciate

Your manner and are

Happy to be associated with

You and like to be seen

With you. Days will come

When you are in the presence

Or some older than you.

You show them respect

But as for the rest of it

You have a life too and

Are too busy to be slobbering

Over them. They have

Their own sycophants.
