Old Men by Ogden Nash

When your friends begin to flatter you on how young you look, it’s a sure sign you’re getting old. – Mark Twain.

Grief From The Perspective of an Old Man
Been like this ever since I turned off the television.

People expect old men to die,
They do not really mourn old men.
Old men are different. People look
At them with eyes that wonder when…
People watch with unshocked eyes;
But the old men know when an old man dies.
