Old Timer
I am too old, is what people say
I do not know what is going on today
It is past time for me to be gone
Everything I say, I say all wrong
Should get rid of my old-style ways
I am just living in the olden days
Look at me and call me an old timer
I am as out of date as a five and dimer
They do not see the wisdom in years
A fool only sees what he wants to hear
My ways may indeed be from the past
Maybe they are growing up to fast
Like Sherlock Holmes, they cannot catch a clue
Sometimes the old ways are better than the new

Hello!
Much truth here - getting better, but we still have walls between the generations that need to come down.
Thank you,
