Man For His Age


MAN FOR HIS AGE


Care-worn he leads

his guilt free life,

turns fears

into a bar-room joke –


he never fails

though sometimes falls

a victim to

“the changing times”.


Suburban heroes never weep,

they share with celluloid

an inability to bleed.


He veils his sorrows in

a sentimental song

and never sins –


his standards are complete

and up to date.


A true son

of a dying race.


Malcolm Evison
