queue

When you reach a certain age

you do as old folk do

while away the happy hours

in a bloody queue


you say you are busy

and are time bereft

I know all about tine

as I've little of it left



you say you are so busy

and time restraints so dire

you don't know what busy is

until the day that you retire



now deemed fit and healthy

you can now give a hand

to older folk that can not cope

drive,walk, or stand



when I was young I did stupid things

as stupid as can be

but never did such a stupid thing

as jump the queue on me
