80 is the new 70
Episode description
'80 is the new 70'
using his walker
the spry young man of 80
sauntered to the bar
then put his heart into ordering
the craft beer he desired
(drink some water first, you must hydrate,
his aide reminded).
that first sip kissed his lips and
his eyes danced back to ’47 as
his face left this place.
he drained his beer
(finish your water, you must hydrate,
his aide reminded).
the spry young man of 80
noticed me sipping my scotch and
he smiled; oh, he smiled.
had he been even 10 years younger
we would have torn this bar apart.
