Supercentenarians Poem by Walterrean Salley
Supercentenarians
You have gone where few go,
Unless they’ve got that special pass.
But you’ve got that and much more,
Travelling with pizazz.
Built like the T-model Ford
With a touch of true class—
You’re here today and going strong,
Of course, with plenty a gas.
More than one hundred years!
Wow! Who can beat that, lass?
No king, queen or president
Can ever such amass.
So now, with exercise
And plenty a rest too—
And the proper diet—
You’ll keep tunneling through.
And may you live a loooong time
Like supercentenarians do.
Normally we greet people to live long for 100 years, but i think it is very rare to live without any disease or disability without the help from others. I see here people in poor homes uncared by the kith and kin.
beautifully captures a century's journey, a tribute to the ones making it.

This captures a journey through time, and what a journey some people have.

To Kanniappan. Rarely do you see a supercentenarian run a marathon, although it has happened. But for the most part, yes, they are at a scary place in their lives—infirmed, fragile and in need of adequate support. I think the problem of neglect is a big issue everywhere. Dear God, please, always protect and keep them is my prayer. PS: it will coming to all of us - if we live long enough. Thank you Kanniapan, for your valuable input.
Interesting poem Walterrean, with a touch of humour. Well penned.
