Dragon gyrate on the stage
we are moshing on the floor
like we don't know our age
altered lyrics we all roar:
"We were Young,
We were Free!
I can't dance,
I've stuffed my knee!"
Aged Rockers twitch
to the same old beat;
some on the floor
some in their seat.
There's no more Hair
for the wind to ruffle;
they do the dance there;
the glucosamine shuffle!
Move the leg forward
then clutch your knee,
gasp out the dread word
Rheumatism defines me!
The women still amazing look
like reconstructed Sixties groupies,
I don't know just what that took
Dollars, Yuan, or maybe rupees!
Their husbands look more like their Dad
They don't mind that they look old.
As long as their trophy wives aren't sad
Who really cares if they are bald?
It is true we're old, but we're not a bore:
we are rocking bold; we're still hard-core!
It's a week later now: I'm still in some pain.
But if my wife wanted, I'd do it all again!
Glucosamine Sulphate, Fish Oil capsules,
Over 50 Vitamins and a Blood Pressure pill!
When we get old we feel such fools
still having fun when we're over the hill!

We went to watch the mighty All Blacks beat the Wallabies
on the big screen at the North Ryde Returned Services League,
Stood for the Ode at the going down of the Sun, "lest we forget",
Had a nice cheap meal at the Brasserie bistro restaurant,
then moved to the Auditorium for the resurrected Kiwi Band.
An awesome night, but my knees are giving me pain today,
which prompted the poem about my aches and pains and lost youth!
Sort of rhyming blank verse - don't analyse the rhythm.
While we were at a Rock concert,
my son dined formally with Army elites:
there's a Generation Gap for you!
Thank you for taking the SatWE challenge.
I'm still in some pain.
But if my wife wanted
I'd do it all again!
Oh, how well I know that step. And it's ALL totally worth it!!
Cackling over my coffee this morning!!
Over 50 Vitamins and a Blood Pressure pill!
When we get old we feel such fools
still having fun when we're over the hill!
Mosh pits? "The kids" did that kind of thing. I was around when disco was born, and it has not died. Sure, I may only "Do the Shuffle" by dancing with my fingers with a little shoulder action while I'm sitting in my recliner, but it's still The Shuffle. ;)
Thanks for reminding me of my older-than-yours days. lol
