UNHAPPY BIRTHDAY

Of all of the things to be picky about,

Like beauty or color of skin,

Like religious kicks or like lifestyles,

Or being too fat or too thin ...

But one thing that never much bothered me

(Perhaps I’m too naive to see),

Is how difference of age makes a problem

Considering personality.

Not much can be done that will change that,

So discriminate if you want to.

But you see, I resent the resentment

For something that I didn’t do.
