No Place For Ol' men

And I don't much like it! (free verse/occasional rhyme)

No Place For Old Men

Too many tattoos 

(And most of them ugly…)

Too many games

 On too many phones…

Too much fat

On too many bodies

Whatever happened

To “skin and bones”?

Too much fast food

Too many empty calories

Whatever became of

Cooking at home?

Too many screens to look at…

Far too much trouble

To take a walk…

Far too much time

Spent amidst too many people

Too little time to sit down and talk…

Too many regrets 

For not getting things done

And hugs became taboo…since when?

I can no longer abide it

And so I’ve decided…

This ol’ world is no place

…For ol’ men…
