It's My Day Poem by Kim Barney

Hey, hey, hey!
It's my day!

Poem Hunter says that today is the
International Day of Older Persons.
I never heard of that before,
but I'll take it.

There aren't too many
people on this website
who are older than I am.
My friend Hank Beuning
thinks he's old
but I've got him beat
by a few years.

So, all of you young
whippersnappers,
get out of my way
as I head to California
to share some ice cream
with another OP, Bri Edwards!

After that, it's on to Colorado
to visit two other OP,
Cowboy Ron Williams
and Spock the Vegan.

Any other OP
who would like a visit,
just give me your home address
and have a spot ready on your floor
for my sleeping bag!

Oh, and make sure you have
a chessboard handy
with all the pieces!

OP rock, OP rock, OP rock!
