Old At Thirty Poem by Cowboy Ron Williams

Old At Thirty

Rating: 5.0


Never trust anyone over thirty.
That's what the hippies used to say
back in the day.

When I turned thirty,
I suddenly felt very old.
I moped around the bunkhouse
for weeks and weeks.

Eventually I got over it.
Turning forty didn't bother me,
and neither did fifty.

Sixty was no trouble at all,
and seventy was the same.
Eighty kinda makes me wince a little bit.
