Two Old Men
Two Old Men.
I love my President.
He is an epic thriller.
Whatever he does, or does not do,
thrills to the depths of the soul.
I was 23 in '83 when I finished my degree, He was running the country.
I graduated, finished a 32-year career, retired 3 years ago,
He is still running the country.
He is an epic thriller.
Now, the country has evolved global- thriller!
I'll miss him when he's gone - the depths and torrents of his streaming eight-year thrill!
Or, should I frequent his domicile for the regular doses of the fiery thrills to which I am now so addicted?
.....even as we have become two Senior citizens...two old men?
