Old man, silly fool

Александр Панчин

Old man, silly fool,
Sits all day on a stool,
Bald his head is,
Bald and shiny
His staff is big,
But guess what’s tiny?

He has a strength:
His snore is strong,
It echoes for a distance, long
Collapsing mountains
With a clap,
Cover you ears!
Pull down your hat!

Old man, who stands in mead,
I hope you cover up your head,
So next day, when I pass you by
Your shiny bald wont blind my eye!

Your grumpiness could kill a horse
But then, your breath is even worse!
I heared a dragon once escaped,
From you by jumping to the lake!

I see a horrible mistake!
How could the Gods intend to make
Such horrid things, so old and boring
That shake the world at sleep when snoring?

I ask the heavens to reveal
What lies beyond this mystery!
If fear or sorrow we should feel,
For aged and grumpy misery?

Alex, I wonder what made you write such a poem? It is funny but I could not get a meaning, ...old age, grumpy old man... What is the "horrible mistake"? And did you mean "Staff" a "Stuff"?
We all are creatures of God... Stay young! And handsome!

I mean "Staff" - a large stick used for walking. The horrible mistake, is that Gods could not intend to make old grumpy men.

I have nothing against old people, the peom was inspired by one especially grumpy man from one story :)

I see. Then why don't you put a note that this poem was written ....I think it would make a right impact. Still = wishing you luck and happy spring! Sincerely, I.
