Comment from Ulla
Hi Tony, I know what you're saying in this great three line poem. There is a tendency of younger people not taking the elderly quite seriously. All I can say, when I shrug my shoulder, is that they will experience that one day as well. It's not worth my breath. No pun intended in these troubling days. Good luck. Ulla:)))

A virtual sixer for you, Tony. Takes a while to get there, but this is so true. Super theme and illustration. Best of luck in the contest with this amusing short piece. Marilyn

Comment from Robert Zimmerman
Hi Tony. I like that old sage picture you have put with your poem. The sentiment you have in your poem is excellent. It seems times have reversed themselves. Maybe it's cultures. When I was a young boy anyone over 30 was Mister. In some societies, now, anyone over 65 is annoying.
Good luck in the contest. That's a great three-line poem.
Robert

I am afraid this might be true because the age gap grows and grows. Here in China, grey beards are still honored. . . .
In any case, the pic and poem work together.

Comment from Shirley McLain
What a totally true poem for me. Is everything crazy in Australia as it is here? I was a labor and delivery RN for many years and you would think my Granddaughters would believe what I say but they don't. "It's not like that anymore, Nanna." When did having a baby change? Oh well, thanks for listening to me vent. God bless you and yours. Shirley

Thanks very much for your review, Shirley. Keep safe! I have learnt to bite my tongue. Perhaps that's where true wisdom lies! LOL All good wishes, Tony
Comment from nancy_e_davis
Yes! Isn't that the truth. My children still think they are smarter than I am. They hardly listen to me at all but they do admit they should have listened when things go wrong. LOL Well done, Tony. Good luck in the contest. Nancy:)

Tony,
You are singing my song, now, buddy. *smile* hahahahaha What happened to those days when the more (slightly) aged among the group/tribe were revered and honored??? Oh, woe!
We need a return to those days! I enjoyed! Good luck!

Comment from Mistydawn
Isn't that the truth especially with my know it all kids. I don't know how many times I wanted to throw a fit and say sit down, shut up and listen a second. It's so frustrating sometimes. Love your picture, the look on the gorilla's face is perfect for your poem.
