OCTOGENARIA
Eighties land,
Where I now live,
Has its fees in hand,
Which I give.Creaky this, creaky that,
Feebleitude as well,
Was hard to get up from where I sat,
It has its own brand of hell.But a bunch of non-dependent descendants,
Put joy in remembering,
Their babyhood resplendent,
In my Decembering.I am top one of the barely spry,
In the fraternity,
Whose battle cry,
is I GOT THE SENIORITY !
