Cultural Heroes Of The Grey-Haired Set Poem by Jerry Behr Number 2

Here they come from all over suburbia with their walking sticks
and on crutches these brave souls to do their cultural tricks.
Grey hair with white streaks bobbing up and down, they walk
to their meeting place to have fellowship and have a talk.
These are the Cultural Heroes of The Grey- Haired Set.
They are unusual souls and the funniest people I’ve ever met.
I never colour my hair I like to keep my club’s colours flying.
Colours of The Grey-Haired Set with its spirit never dying.
These souls don’t seek fame and fortune they’re too old for that.
They have a need to express themselves about life that’s a fact,
writing poetry either in long hand or on a computer disk.
Carrying on with their literary craft standing with a defiant fist
these Cultural Heroes Of The Grey-Haired Set.
There are even some golden oldies who even paint and I bet;
it’s their job to keep the art world ticking with life that's met.
Those olden days when young men created art movements
are long gone and in the art world there no more improvements.
So for The Cultural Heroes Of The Grey-Haired Set I say
the cultural world needs us keep on championing on our way©.
