hey, you adults -
you oafs, you ogres, you nincompoops
big-headed, pigheaded
you unwieldy, big, overgrown humans
you’re too old
too smart and too much desiring control
always planning to put the world
into your cubes and boxes;
always judging the world
and seeing what you want to see
the way you want things to be;
too set in your ways
and you’re too serious and somber
and too uptight, important and dignified
you need to grow a little younger
and lose all those flabby years;
and be a little more with a big smile
and every inch of you
with innocence, charm and grace
and not just at public functions
and not just on Saturdays and Sundays
I love it. It is gutsy, poignant, funny..............
