Today’s Senior

The ‘Senior’ definition is getting clouded now because

Today’s Senior is more active than any Senior ever was

The only thing now is for society on this ever-changing Earth

To have the penny finally drop and realise their worth

And while some ignoramus’s direct their disdain at us

Remember Senior also means a higher rank or status

Which was earnt by work, toil and the challenges of living

So don’t leave them sitting on the shelf, they’re capable of giving

Age is not the downfall it previously was and 60 now is young

The pity is the realisation hasn’t quite reached everyone

So if you have a problem you can’t solve, a solution may be near

There’s so many untapped resources, Seniors DO YOU HEAR!!!

Don’t put them out to pasture because with all that they’ve been through

A Senior could have benefits, more significantly for you

Experience and logic are waiting ‘en masse’ for those who would

Give some older folk a chance to do some further good.
