The Oldest Make the Rules: Can You Tell A Story In

Here’s a brief synopsis of our swamp,

Where the octogenarians rule in this clinic for seniors.

Wearing bargain dungarees, they insist on noodles,

But we seventy-somethings want rice but have no interveners.

Day after day, we eat food we hate,

All because the others were born first.

But in ten years, we’ll be the oldest,

And will eat rice for all we’re worth.
