Do I dare to eat a peach?

I do grow old. In fact, I'm roughly the age of our two Democratic candidates for President. I turned 70 last July, much to my consternation.

I grow old â€¦ I grow old â€¦
I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.

Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach?
I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach.
I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.

I do not think that they will sing to me.

I suppose I've become irrelevant and have no business commenting on the Democratic primaries. But wait...they're my age. They grew up when I grew up. They probably dived under desks in "A-Bomb" drills. They protested against the Vietnam war, like me. They watched the civil rights movement grow and even participated in it. They've seen us jump back and forth between Democrats and Republicans in the White House, and know which party does a better job.

So, I won't cave. I'll rage against the dying of the light and support whichever one of those two oldsters becomes the nominee. I think I'll just keep on doing what I've always done. I'm still alive and I still remember.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off the to supermarket to buy some peaches...fresh or canned...whatever's available. The mermaids are still singing to me, I'm sure
.

You are such a weirdo.
