Frightening
Doggerel
Old
News: gerontophobia
Gerontophobia—the word
For fear
of older folks—a fear,
Or so I’ve somewhat often heard,
The young
possess. But those now near—
Or in that category—know
That fears
like these are very weird,
For as
this ditty now will show,
We’ll all
become what we have feared.
The young
will age (unless they die
Too soon),
no matter what they say.
We’ll be the feared—yes, you and I.
It’s
simply Mother Nature’s Way.
