Trying to find a job at fifty-three
Too old to work, too young for social security
They all want someone in their early twenties
That will go to work for mere pennies
I’ve got a twenty-five year old mind
But most employers don’t want that kind
Going for interviews and they don’t call
They think someone twenty has it on the ball
So I sit here and write poems all day
When my house works done I can play
You can’t make money writing words
I enjoy it so, but this is for the birds
There is only so much house to clean
Can’t get a job, because I’m not a teen
I have a good life, don’t want to complain
I guess at my age, you’re not to supposed to have a brain
I think I’m going to have to retire
After all it’s not me they are going to hire!
