Advice From an Old Geezer
By Melvin Jacker
Youth! More hours have I spent in the markets
Than you have spent with your hearts beating
Know it alls you think you are
And your wages convince you that it is so
But you have not seen it all;
You have not seen the big, black bear
He will crush you
Unawares
Pain you do not know will come
With escape not to be found
Respect me not
But heed my warning
Some time
The big, black bear shall return
Melvin consistently beats his grandchildren at the video game Madden NFL, despite the arthritis.
