Analysis of Rebuttal. Geezer gone grumpy.
73rd birthday this month.
Grandpa times two.
Sexy magenta walking cane.
Don't hardly need that.
But commands respect
Maybe some fear.
Could swing it.
Bruise a leg
Or haunch.
Generally I find respect
And doors opened
And generous smiles.
But then comes that
Nasty generation gap.
I make a simple
Friendly comment.
No response, awkward.
Ah so you are one
Of those disrespectful punks.
Duck your head
A wee bit.
The stick comes into play.
Move aside kid.
I said aside!!!
You are hogging the entire
Sidewalk.
I am NOT SLINKING OVER
INTO THE GRASS.
YOU HEAR ME?
THIS STICK HURTS!
Whoosh, slam.
Oh did that hurt Friend?
Too bad.
