He spoke about a guy
Who tried to woo
A lady of 22.
And I,
Overheard every word
And wondered what it had to do
With him.
I don’t know,
Is it a sin
For a guy of 52
Or so,
To woo
A girl of 22?
I think
That if a guy
Of 52,
Wishes to buy
A drink
For a lady of 22
That it is nothing to do
With me or you.
“A fool and his money are soon parted”
The moralist will say. But, if that be true
And a man is brokenhearted,
I come back to
my original question, what has that to do
With me or you?
An interesting point you have made in this poem, Kevin. I agree.
Thank you, Robbie. I am of the view that so long as adults are happy then the age difference is irrelevent. Even if it is relevant, it is nothing to do with anyone other than the parties concerned.
